The initial "down strum" here is just hitting the lowest note of the chord.
Also, pay attention to the small, muted walk that occurs when switching between the C & G.
This is just open 6th string E.
Lastly, and most importantly, the C major chord here uses a G root aka 3rd fret of the 6th string
like in the G chord will still be held down (by your third finger.) This differs from the sixth string
being muted in a traditional C major chord.

[Verses]
Oh my man he is Cso fine
He shines a light on Gme
And I bask in it D7all day
From my trouble sets me Gfree
He takes the pain in my Cshoulders
Lets it loose in his Ghands
He takes the sorrow in my D7dark eyes
Lets them brighten up Gagain
Oh let me love him for a Clifetime
And somewhere far beGyond
Let me take him with me D7everywhere
Til I am dead and Ggone
You know he loves me on the Cinside
Like a singer knows her Gsong
He loves me like a D7river
That flows ever Gon
Oh let me love him like a Criver
Flows ever Gon

[Intro]

[Verses]

Oh my man he is so fine

He shines a light on me

And I bask in it all day

From my trouble sets me free

He takes the pain in my shoulders

Lets it loose in his hands

He takes the sorrow in my dark eyes

Lets them brighten up again

Oh let me love him for a lifetime

And somewhere far beyond

Let me take him with me everywhere

Til I am dead and gone

You know he loves me on the inside

Like a singer knows her song

He loves me like a river

That flows ever on

Oh let me love him like a river

Flows ever on
