The strumming pattern that fits is the down-up eighths: d u d u. Expect a brisk pace, around 132 bpm, with a light swing to it. On this page the song is in C major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Swing the eighths and stay bouncy for this upbeat acoustic blues.
