Looking for some recommendations.
I want to add a few more 6/8 and 3/4 songs to my repertoire.
There are an abundance of 6/8 songs and plenty of threads discussing them but what about 3/4?
What are everyone’s favourite 3/4 songs to play?

There’s plenty of 3/4 in the classical music. Otherwise the only ones that come to my mind are:
Happy Birthday
We wish you a Merry Christmas
Greensleeves
Oh my darling Clementine!!

Haha very true, although much as I enjoy listening to Strauss, I think playing his music might be a bit beyond. Hank Williams, Marty Robbins and Wings might be better.

Leonard Cohen “Take this waltz” 
(something I would like to be able to play in the future, since it has so dark but beautiful lyrics)

Tennessee Waltz - sung by so many famous musicians -Eddie Arnold, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Hank Williams Jr., Connie Francis, Patti Page, Patsy Cline, Bonnie Raitt - even Elvis 
- and more! Only 4-5 open chords in the simplified versions and not vocally difficult.

The problem with a lot of these online lists, including this one, is that they include 6/8 songs. I have heard Justin say the same thing.
Hey @CATMAN62. Thanks for the recommendation on Tennessee Waltz. It has become one of my absolute favourites to play on guitar.

I’m so glad that you’re enjoying playing that song! It was one of the very first songs I ever played from start to finish (very badly!!!) & I really like the various interpretations from different artists!!! Les Paul & Mary Ford did a nice version………
