Chandler's wife is an easy song to learn on Acoustic Guitar.
It only took me 1 week and it was the first song I ever learned.

It only has 3 chords:
C
F
G
(and X means knock on guitar with knuckle.)

It is a 4 count song with 5 frames.
But, it is super easy because all of the frames are the same.

1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-    }I walked into the Chandler's shop,
C-------F---C---    }Some candles for to buy.
1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-    }I looked around the Chandler's shop,
C-------G-------    }Yet none did I spy.
1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-    }I was disappointed,
C-------F---C---    }And some angry words I said.
1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4-    }When I heard the sound of a XXX,
C---xxx-G---C---    }Right above my head.

That's it, the only thing that changes is the words.
Now of course you could play each note for each beat or even a couple up strokes.
But for me, a beginner, I chose to play it this way nice and slow.

Enjoy!
