🎸Beginner Guitarists:

This is an easy guitar song with simple, beginner-friendly chords that are all very easy to play.

G/B is a G chord leading with a 'B' bass note. Think of it as a normal G chord without playing the bottom string.

You can play a standard G chord instead of G/B, but using G/B (a slash chord with B in the bass) creates a more open, flowing sound—especially when moving from C to G/B to Am.
