As far as strumming goes, you essentially play the lower half of each chord
followed by picking the top half of the chord. Listen to the recording and you'll
hear what I mean. Doing so creates a sort of rythym that continues throughout the
song. I tried tabbing the strumming out to help, along with the bass fills, but
really you can do just fine playing only the chords.
