This isn't the way John Paul plays it but it still works well and is an easier version :)
Strumming pattern: intro - D D U D U, verse - just straight downbeats to the rhythm
If you need help with the beats and guitar slaps in the second verse just listen to the song and you'll
catch on pretty quickly.
