One of the tricks I learned as a kid when learning a song with new chords in it was to form the bass note first and hit it with the pick and then strum the rest of the chord on the second beat.
This also breaks up the the strum strum strum strum monotony of a 4 beat measure.

If you think it might help you're welcome to my personal songbook which I keep on-line and available to anyone who wants it. There's a "Lite" version just for beginners. There's nearly 800 songs all in one place all indexed and hyperlinked so it's easy to move around. The Lite version has all the chord diagrams adjacent to the song title so you can see at a glance which chords you'll be dealing with. And many are further identified as "easiest to play" (no F or B chords). Each song is linked to a YT video so you can play along if you want. With so many to choose from I'm sure there are several slower paced songs to practice your chord changes on. It's all free - no agenda - just my way of giving back. Building up speed and proficiency when just starting out can be frustrating. Just stick with it and it'll come. We've all had that "Eureka" moment. A.T. https://songbook19.my-free.website/

Dock of the Bay is certainly slow, and the changes are either easy or very easy depending on the key. Can you whistle? :-)

"Wonderful Tonight" is a nice slow one.

The Joker is slow and incorporates some nice bass notes. If you have a problem with the drug references, you can always swap in "midnight poker" or "midwife stroker" or something like that.
