The strumming pattern that fits is the upbeat emphasis: d u d U d u d U. The groove sits around 112 bpm, a medium pace. On this page the song is in F major, while the recording itself is in C major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the novice level. Strum full and steady and let everyone sing the oh-oh-oh part.
