Is this strumming pattern correct?

There's an Eb chord fingerpicked in the background for most of the song, with some variation.
Here's the main idea:
 
e|--------------|
B|-------4------|
G|-----3---3----|
D|---5-------5--|
A|-6------------|
E|--------------|
 
[Verse 1]
Eb                         Cm
We took a flight to the Pacific Northwest
            Ab
I've had a longing to go there deep in my chest
 
Like a dream
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Eb                      Cm
Left Portland in the mornin' headed for the coast
           Ab
Feels like middle of nowhere, windin' down this road
Ab
And then I see it
 
This can't be real
 
 
[Chorus]
     Eb           Bb                 Ab
I've never seen a greener green than that
    Eb               Bb              Ab
The sea salt air I'm breathin' brings life back
                 Eb                     Cm
Together, we're alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach
    Ab
And I remember what it is to be
 Eb       Cm Ab
So green
          Eb    Cm Ab
It was so green
 
 
[Verse 3]
       Eb                          Cm
Take a lighthouse tour, we saw the octopus tree
      Ab                     Fm
Feels like some Wes Anderson movie scene
       Ab
In the breeze
 
 
[Verse 4]
       Eb                           Cm
Made a bonfire on the beach, talked late into the night
        Ab                    Fm
We made love after bottles of cheap red wine
               Ab        Fm
It was way too sweet (mmm, yeah)
             Ab    Bb
You taste so swee-eet
 
 
[Chorus]
     Eb           Bb            Ab
I've never seen a greener green    than that
    Eb               Bb               Ab
The sea salt air I'm breathin' brings   life back
                  Eb                    Cm
Together, we're alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach
    Ab
And I remember what it is to be
   Eb     Cm Ab Fm
So green
                Eb     Cm
Yeah, it was so green

Yeah-eah-eah-e  -  a  -  h, yeah, yeah, oh

I've never seen a greener green    than that
    Eb               Bb               Ab
The sea salt air I'm breathin' brings   life back
                  Eb                    Cm
Together, we're alive and free, holdin' hands on the beach
    Ab
And I remember what it is to be
 
You and I rememberin' what it is to be
