these are the only chords in the song . there are about three strumming patterns ,

they kinda go like this :

first :
play the chords staccato ( strum but dont let it ring out , basically strum then

palm mute right afterwards ) . ( bum )

second :
play chords like the first strumming pattern , but strum a palm muted chord to

make A “chuck” sound ( bum – chuck )

third : ( hey really gets into this one )
play like the second strumming pattern but strum down and up whiel palm muted

after the staccato chord ( bum – chuck chuck )

freestyle :
beat boxing style!

boom – chuck – boom – boom – chuck x until half way

by listening to the song and knowing the chords and the basic strumming patterns

it shouldnt be hard .
