No no no, follow the lyrics and chords as chindog shows. The pasted in text has shifted over the chord changes a bit.
First line is all C chord (D/U D/U etcetera)
2nd line: At "Short" it's a C. At "Stout" change to G.
3rd line: "Here" is D7. "Handle" is a G.
Follow that pattern. At least that's how *I* do it.

If you are a newbie, don't get too hung up on "I must follow a chord pattern" just concentrate on a steady rhythm and keeping time, then explore your own strumming. Trust me.
