If you listen to the album version, there's no recognizable strumming pattern, however this

version is meant to be played accoustically. You can just strum the chords, but I recommend you make

a quiet finger-picking pattern for the first verse and then strum starting with the chorus. Just

do what feels right to the mood of the song.
