Bob Dylan - Knockin' on the Heaven's Door
This song is definitely a good start for beginners and a good base for learning chords and strumming techniques. Also, guitarists at more advanced levels can find it very useful for strumming, getting more confidence and for soloing as well.
Essentially, there are only four chords in the song, but Dylan's exceptional sense for composition made it more interested.

Another view on chord structure is through both of them diatonic chords (marked with Roman numerals) and sequence of chords (described with letters).
Basic strumming pattern is shown below in one more notation as number of beats played on the guitar: G/x2, D/x2, Am/x4 - G/x2, D/x2, C/x4.
