note: I think it also sounds good, maybe even better, substituting Em7 [0 2 2 0 3
3] for Em, Cadd9 [x 3 2 0 3 3] for C, and Dsus4 [x x 0 2 3 3] for D.
Strum pattern for beginners - First, listen to the song. The fast part (end of
verse lines, end of chorus) I play:
G D/F# Em C
D D UUUDUDU D D UUUDUDU
During the verse just play and let ring out the initial single chord until the jam
above.
During the chorus, I play something like this (hitting just the root note
sometimes on down strums including the initial strum):
D D DU D D D DU D D D DU D D D DU D D D DU
G C D G
Praise is waiting for You in this place
I hope that's helpful. It's a great song, enjoy!
