The strum for this song is tricky: U*XU UD (* = hammer-on each chord from open-strings after the first strum. So the first up-strum is on: 0000 and then you hammer-on the chord.) For the G and D chords that only get 2 beats at the end of the 2nd and 4th lines in the verse and at the end of the chorus, strum U*UD.
