I only listed the chord progression so listen to the song to hear how they are strummed.

But to play it as a single guitar part just switch to the C and strum around, maybe dropping the pinky on the third fret of the D string every once and a while. Outro: C G |--3-3-3-3--33333333--| |--5-5-5-5--33333333--| |--5-5-5-5--44444444--| play this a bunch of times |--5-5-5-5--55555555--| |--3-3-3-3--55555555--| |-----------33333333--| then the last phrase switches to C G C G CGCG
