Knocking on Heavens door – Bob dylan. it just goes:

G, D, Am7 or Am. then it goes G, D, C or Cadd9 (witch is very similar to the G chords but you move your first two fingers down a string) :) hope this helps

If you know those four chords (E B C#m A), then go nuts.

You’ve got everything you need.

You can play Viva La Vida by Coldplay. The whole song is just C, D, G, Eminor. That’s it. Another easy one is Bubbly by Colbie Calliat. The whole song is just A, Amaj7, and D. Another very easy song is Keep Holding on by Avril Lavigne. The whole song is just G, D, C, Eminor.
Hope I Helped :)

Lots. When you try learning a new song by ear, assume that it has those chords unless you come across one that you can’t figure out.

Creedence Clearwater Revival – Bad Moon Rising, Down By the Corner, Proud Mary (these are the most basic) then you can learn more of their songs – they’re fun to play & they’re some of the 1st I learned.

The Kingsmen – Louie Louie (just a few power chords – easy)
John Lennon – Imagine
The Animals – House of the Rising Sun (just play the chords)
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (really easy chords, love the intro – a little harder than the chords though, but easy with practice)

You can find the chords on chordie.com or youtube for lessons for certain songs
