the verse pattern is on the first 4 bars of each verse, then this twice through:

D D DU U/ UDUDUDU/D D DU U/
1+2+3+4+/1+2+3+4+/1+2+3+4+/1+2+3+4

the strumming patterns are how I play it on acoustic guitar. the rhythms are the same as the
recording, but I think the recording is all down strokes and all power chords
