hi johno,go down 17 topics on this page,to help with strumming by wlbaye.have a look at his for what its worth on utube,watch it over and over again.then have a go at the strum pattern used ddu udu.I am the same as you started around 2 years ago learned the major chords,then tried to apply them to songs,i actually put the guitar away,totally fed up,then a couple of weeks ago i noticed the post by wlbaye,watched his video and practised every nite,now the song is coming together,i am also using a couple more of wlbaye,s utube vids featuring other songs,and they are starting to sound right to.I know how you feel,but dont give up try these vids of wlbaye,if they worked for an old plank like me,i am sure you will have success.good luck
