      These chords were written out so that way you don't substitute them with other chords 
      After all, there are many ways to play a "G",etc.  You shouldn't have trouble with the other
      chords in this song that aren't written out.

     This song is played on an acoustic, but for electtic players, may I suggest using a 'touch wha' effect.  It gives the song a whole 'nother deminsion. 
     The strumming pattern can't be tabbed out exactly w/o confusing you.  Listen to the song and figure it out. It's quite easy actually.
Enjoy yourself.
