    I would possibly check out 'Let It Be'.

    That should be fairly basic.

    But don't let your fear of bar chords hinder you. They're impossible at first, but you'll get used to them. Trust me.

    Well if you want to come up with some simple songs on your own and only know major chords here is a good formula to keep in mind:

    The major scale goes: 2-2-1-2-2-2-1
    W= whole step H = Half step so that'd be W-W-H-W-W-W-H

    The major scale of A would be:
    A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G#, A

    Explanation:
    A to B is a whole steop....B to C# is a whole step, because there is no #(sharp) between B and C, Half step from C# is D, whole step from D is E, and a whole step from E is F# because there is no #(sharp) between E and F....etc...etc...

    Now here's a little guitar theory to play with that involves the major scale. It's called the 1-4-5 theory. You take the first, fourth and fifth note from that major scale and they should go well together. So the 1-4-5 in the key of A would be:

    A
    (obviously the 1) - D - E

    There you have it...an easy way to come up with very simple chord progressions, and the 1,4,5 for A is is simple, because there are no sharps or flats in it.

    I really hope this wasn't too confusing if you have any questions please just ask, I'll help with whatever I can. Music is an amazing thing to share.

    If you want tabs/chords, just check out Ultimate-Guitar.com

    They've got a ton of different stuff. It's been crucial to my learning
