Strumming pattern for most of the whole song is DudUUu, except near the end where it's just a fast mess. The chords in the end where it's all just a mess may be wrong as it's hard to hear what he's actually playing over all the loops. The parts which have no tabs either have Ed setting up the drums for the loops or simply have just the loops playing and Ed singing over them. [First riff (comes in as first loop)] Play this palm muted
