You don't need a whole lot of theory to have fun with a guitar. In order to join in, get yourself a capo, a kind of clamp that goes across the the strings and try this website. I think you'll like it.

You'll have to copy the website and paste it in your browser but it should get you going. Don't be afraid to ask more experienced players for help. They're usually happy to anwer your questions.
