Just standard chords for the song.

I've Been Asked for strumming Patterns, but its fairly straight forward. 
Simply Put, I think that its just strumming, and then right before each change in 
chord, there's an accent on the off-beat.

Intro: D (xx0232@1)             Bm (x24432@1)          G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)A (x02220@1)             Bm (x24432@1)          G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)D (xx0232@1)             Bm (x24432@1)          G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)
