I personally used the strumming pattern
DDUDUDU for The majority of the song, but occasionally used a single down strum when Asus4 and A7 were close together or A7 was at the end of a lyric.

In addition the transcription of the notes are very well done so you can essentially strum to the beat of the original song if you struggle.
