I'm hearing Am in the intro.

The main progression of the song (to my ear) is Am - D - G - Am.

This isn't much, but it should get you started.  Someone with a better ear than mine may be able to help more.

Strumming pattern I would use is just a straight dudududu... but I would pause and do a down as the first stroke on each chord change.  It's difficult to explain.


I didn't watch it all, but the video is a bit racy.  smile
