How to Learn New Things as an Adult

Yes, Dylan's version, you can do it with only about four chords.

Others I have enjoyed learning are REM's Country Feedback (not the slide bit, the chords) and Bowie's cover of Jacques Brel's Amsterdam - this has an F but you can get away with Fmaj7, which is much easier.

I'm very much a beginner too - coming towards the end of the Justin Guitar beginner's course. The song book that goes along with it has some good tunes.

That reminds me, Blowing in the wind's an incredibly easy to learn song too, four chords, easy progressions, only one quick change to an easy Em (I believe).

You can also do it without the Em, but it doesn't sound as good.
