Easy to Learn:
1. In order to learn this easily, singing/following the lyrics will help significantly.
A lot of the simplified chord structures might sound too vague without the vocal melody.
2. If any of the Chorus section is too difficult for Novice, leave the high notes.

1. Try holding the primary chord structure for any bar to make it easier to play.
While holding the primary chord, playing the notes before or after should feel more natural to play into.
