I'm looking for the easiest possible chord progressions here, whilst still being actual songs. Ridiculously basic please.

Strumming rather than fingerpicking, just to teach basic chords in a way that will sustain interest.


Thanks in advance,

You could always just strum Good Riddance by Greenday, even though he picks the strings, it still sounds alright when strummed.

Its like G, Cadd2, D


I'm not sure if its Cadd2, actually, but its got the 2 in it so i'd assume thats what its called...
