I've got the chords figured out, although I don't know how to name this one:

2003

I'd normally call it C with A in the bass, but this is high G.

The strum pattern is what I can't quite replicate. I can get close, but my strum hand moves a lot more than Roy's does. To me, it looks like chunk, roll with the thumb followed by two up strums.

Help please? :)
 
I would just call that Am. You have a low and high C in it.
 
Can someone please help me figure out the strum pattern? I've played mostly fingerstyle for many years, so strumming is not my forte. Please help! :)
 
I'd do it as down, roll with the thumb, up with the thumb, down, up. He only does that chunk at the start from what I can see. He changes up the strum from time to time as well, but that is the starting point...

Thanks so much! I'm having trouble making sure my thumb rests on the G string before rolling the thumb. Any idea how to write this down? :) TY!

I believe it's a calypso strum. Here's a very good Mike Lynch tutorial video for the song.....different key, but he goes over the strum pattern midway through the video.
