Topic: Johhny Cash Hurt

Hi all. I am new to playing the guitar. Played a little as a kid but starting up again. I am trying to play this song but having trouble playing the chorus. Does anybody have any ideas on how to strum the chrous? When i listen on the song i hear the piano but not sure how to strum this on the acoustic. Thanks for the help.

Hello!

I play it as a simple 1 2 3 4&. Sound's okey. Add's a bit of drama if you know what I mean.

It's a nice song, I assume you have the Am, C and D pick pick strum bit sorted?
