I use single downstrums one after another. I think it just sounds so good!

The correct chords are on +2. There are three strumming patterns. The intro and verses are D DU DU or (12 A3 &4.) The strumming for the bridge (Somebody else around everyone else – Tell me) DU DU DU DU or (1&2 &3a 4a.) The chorus has the same strumming but it excludes the last up strum, so it goes DU DU DU D or (1&2 &3a 4). A single strum can be used in various points of the song. Usually on the D chord before the chorus. I hope this helps :)

I like to use Down, down, up, up, and repeat throughout the whole song.
