My pattern is C string, E string, G string, A string. (I made a mistake in the previous comment. But that sounds nice too. Not like the recording though).

I like your version. I usually play this string pattern on ukulele: C G E A (2 middle string then 2 outer strings). I play it different on guitar. I like how you are trying to get the steady bass note, but you might want to try alternating it. I'm fairly certain that steady bass note is a washtub bass on his recording not what Jack is playing.
