This song sounds best by using the actual picking,
but if you want to strum these chords sound almost the same.
Also, I personally think it sounds best if you do the G with only one finger at the bottom,
and then C with two fingers at the top.
An asterict (*) beside a chords, means you only need to strum it once.
Standard Tuning.
