ChordsWorld Overview:

Nice set of mostly easy chords here! G, C, D, Em, and Am are all beginner-friendly and sound great on acoustic. Watch out for G6 and G/B—they’re simple if you know your basic G shape, just tweak a finger or two. D/F# and G/B are slash chords, so use your thumb or fingers to catch those bass notes. No barre chords, so your hands get a break!

Intro: G
Verse: G, G6, D/F#, C, Em, D
Chorus: C, D, G, Am, G/B
Outro: G6, G, D, C, Em
