Richard Ashcroft - Hold On
Standard Tuning: EADGBe
No Capo
Chords Used:
Fmaj7: 033210 or 003213
G:     320033 or 320013
To simplify it even further for beginers you can get away with play an Fmaj7 and for the G just slide the 
shape up two frets playing 055430. Its not perfect but if you are just starting out, every little helps.
