Most chords here are easy to play, especially CM7 and FM7, which are nice alternatives to basic C and F. G and Am are also beginner-friendly. The only barre chord is Dm, but it’s manageable with practice. Focus on smooth transitions between CM7 and FM7, and try to keep your strumming relaxed for a warm, folksy feel.
