//***
The strumming pattern is extraordinary cool, so I tried to include it here. "d" is a 
down stroke, "u" an upstroke, and "x" is a 'pause'.
Verse: dxdu
(Pre-)Chorus: either [dxdudu] or [dxdududx]
I'm not sure which one for (Pre-)Chorus is correct. I've tried it for some time and 
couldn't figure out how often my fingers were moving. If you have more look, please post a
