Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Just practice with an up/down strum.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

And be open to picking the individual strings of a chord to sort of "enunciate" the melody a bit between your strumming. You'd be amazed how good that can sound when singing the song. The same thing works when working a guitar.
