To play like in original follow the strumming patterns in intro, interludes and verses.
Pattern is too long to submit as one so it's divided into 2 parts.
You have to play there regular chords (F Am C G F F Am Am), but with slightly altered chord changes:
#1: You play each chord for the two stressed strums (So '1 & 2 ' is F, '& 3 & 4 & ' is Am, etc.)
#2: First 3 strums is 'F', then at 4th '&' you change chord to Am
Listen to the original and focus on stressed strums to get it quickly and easily :)
