The trick to this song is staying on top of the triplets when you're strumming.
Some of the chords are transitions so listen for the changes. On the C-Cadd9
change, you just drop your pinky down right before the second G.
Be careful towards the end of the song the chord progressions changes to include an Em
I have chorded the whole song and it should be right.
Enjoy.
