The strumming pattern that fits is the upbeat emphasis: d u d U d u d U. Expect a medium pace, around 97 bpm, with a light swing to it. It is posted in its original key of Bb major. The chords land in comfortable skilled territory. Accent the upstrokes to get that bouncing shuffle under the singalong chorus.
