Super easy and sounds great. 
About the strum pattern: I play this song with what I think of as a "typical" reggae finger picking 
pattern. 
The root note is played with the thumb, then the pointer finger flicks down quickly to play the rest of the 
chord. Immediately after that, the strings are muted with the palm and the fingers on the fretboard release
pressure to stop the strings from buzzing. This creates a crisp stop. 
F: In this song, after playing the F chord three times the "typical" way, on the fourth time before switching 
to Am, there's a twist. The thumb plays the root note AND the string below, then the pointer finger flicks 
both down and up. 
Am: Am is played with the typical pattern once, then the second time before transitioning to Em, the pointer 
finger flicks both down and up.
Em: Hit Em with the typical pattern twice. Now head back to F and repeat until the bridge.
The bridge has different chords (Dm and C) but is still played with the typical pattern.
It takes work to train your fingers to move like this, but it will serve you well if you're learning other 
reggae-type songs. You're also developing new neuronal circuits in your brain, so go you.
The best practice is to listen to the song a bunch and keep trying, even when it feels like you'll never get
it. Here's an acoustic version of the song. Good luck! 
FSmoke trails and old wives' tales whispered in the Amhills where the west was Emwon
FIt's been a long time coming can't tell where I Amstart and where I am doneEm  
FMaybe it's best if we stop thinking
AmLately I feel my dEmoubt sinking
FYou're not sure but my heart is pure and I Amgotta let you know someEmthing
My Flove is a one way track
We can hop aAmboard and not look Emback
My love can Fhurt or set you free
Just turn a blind Ameye to realityEm  
My love can
FLove is a one way track
Speeding down the rAmails and I can't turn Emback
My love can't Fgive you guarantees
Just close your Ameyes and come with meEm  
FI've always been the one lost in a dream when I Amshould've been seriousEm  
FYou've always been the type to hold back even thAmough you were curiousEm  
FMaybe it's best if we stop drinking
AmBut we can never let the Emdoubt sink in
FI'm not sure and it might be the cure but I Amgotta let you know someEmthing
My Flove is a one way track
We can hop aAmboard and not look Emback

About the strum pattern: I play this song with what I think of as a "typical" reggae finger picking

pattern.

The root note is played with the thumb, then the pointer finger flicks down quickly to play the rest of the

chord. Immediately after that, the strings are muted with the palm and the fingers on the fretboard release

pressure to stop the strings from buzzing. This creates a crisp stop.

F: In this song, after playing the F chord three times the "typical" way, on the fourth time before switching

to Am, there's a twist. The thumb plays the root note AND the string below, then the pointer finger flicks

both down and up.

Am: Am is played with the typical pattern once, then the second time before transitioning to Em, the pointer

finger flicks both down and up.

Em: Hit Em with the typical pattern twice. Now head back to F and repeat until the bridge.

The bridge has different chords (Dm and C) but is still played with the typical pattern.

It takes work to train your fingers to move like this, but it will serve you well if you're learning other

reggae-type songs. You're also developing new neuronal circuits in your brain, so go you.

The best practice is to listen to the song a bunch and keep trying, even when it feels like you'll never get

it. Here's an acoustic version of the song. Good luck!

F Am Em

Smoke trails and old wives' tales whispered in the hills where the west was won

F Am Em

It's been a long time coming can't tell where I start and where I am done

Maybe it's best if we stop thinking

Am Em

Lately I feel my doubt sinking

F Am Em

You're not sure but my heart is pure and I gotta let you know something

My love is a one way track

Am Em

We can hop aboard and not look back

My love can hurt or set you free

Am Em

Just turn a blind eye to reality

My love can

Love is a one way track

Am Em

Speeding down the rails and I can't turn back

My love can't give you guarantees

Am Em

Just close your eyes and come with me

F Am Em

I've always been the one lost in a dream when I should've been serious

F Am Em

You've always been the type to hold back even though you were curious

Maybe it's best if we stop drinking

Am Em

But we can never let the doubt sink in

F Am Em

I'm not sure and it might be the cure but I gotta let you know something

My love is a one way track

Am Em

We can hop aboard and not look back

My love can hurt or set you free

Am Em

Just turn a blind eye to reality

My love can

Love is a one way track

Am Em

Speeding down the rails and I can't turn back

My love can't give you guarantees

Am Em

Just close your eyes and come with me

We're too far gone

It's too right to go wrong

So get on board

Whatever you feel you act on

It's a one way track

And no we can't turn back

Headed out straight never hesitate

And I don't have to tell you that

My love is a one way track

Am Em

We can hop aboard and not look back

My love can hurt or set you free

Am Em

Just turn a blind eye to reality

My love can

Love is a one way track

Am Em

Speeding down the rails and I can't turn back

My love can't give you guarantees

Am Em

Just close your eyes and come with me
