Subject: Lyr Req: The Chandler's Wife
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.

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.
