Replacement chords?

[Tigress]

I'm in need of replacement chords for Bb and Fmaj7, mainly because they're barre chords and my friend is unable to learn those by monday. Are there any other (non-barre) chords that are able to replace those two chords for the song Nothing's gonna change my love for you?

We need to play at an old folks home and he's currently following this tab > http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/m/michael_learns_to_rock/nothings_gonna_change_my_love_for_you_crd.htm while I'm playing this... http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/g/george_benson/nothings_gonna_change_my_love_for_you_tab.htm

Also, is there anything that we should take note of? Thank you in advance.

Hmm, looking at the two tabs... They seem to be of different keys-if you haven't realized.

Google the variations for Bb and Fmaj7 chords.

I guess Bb chord just play like A but move up 1 fret and just play 3 strings well F maj 1 just find the F A C E notes and play them only 4 notes how hard can that be

For Bb you can try x1333x, and Fmaj7, xx3210.

How about using a capo on the 1st fret? Then he can play open E and A chord shapes.

Playing triads is a cop-out, but it works in this scenario - you have no time to learn new chords; so learn to appregiate them, or break the big 6-string chord into smaller chunks that you can handle.
