Strumming

Edit

Is this strumming pattern correct?

[Intro]
G   Am Em     C x2
 
[Verse 1]
G                    Am       Em     C
 Dreamcatcher on the rearview mirror
G               Am    Em     C
Hasn’t caught a thing yet
G                     Am   Em     C
 Twenty dollars and a souvenir
G                Am Em     C
Anything’s worth trying
 
[Verse 2]
    G               Am   Em     C
To stay out of your nightmares
     G             Am         Em     C
See, I was in your dream last night
G             Am  Em     C
Always end up dying
      G             Am       Em     C
You said because of course I did
 
[Interlude]
G   Am Em     C
Ooh-oh-oh
G   Am Em     C
Ooh-oh-oh
 
[Verse 3]
G              Am      Em     C
Always managed to move in
       G          Am Em     C
Right next to cemeteries
    G                Am Em              C
And never far from a hospital, I don't know what
 G              Am   Em     C
that tells you about me
 
[Verse 4]
G                  Am    Em     C
Pulling thorns out of my palm
G               Am   Em     C
Work a midnight surgery
         G            Am    Em     C
When you cut a hole into my skull
   G                 Am Em
Do you hate what you see?
       G   Am Em     C
Like I do
 
[Outro]
G   Am Em     C
Ooh-oh-oh
G   Am Em     C
Ooh-oh-oh
G   Am Em     C
Ooh-oh-oh
G   Am Em     C
Ooh-oh-oh
G   Am Em     C
Ooh-oh-oh

The strumming pattern is G:[D DU UPU] Am:[DUDU] Em:[D DU UPU UPU] C:[DUDU]. I'm about 95% certain that's it. Alternatively: G:[D DU UPU] Am:[DUDU] Em:[D DU UPU] Em7:[UPU] C:[DUDU]. Notice, I've added an extra Em7. In a live version (KEXP; Tiny desk), when she transitions from Em to C, she lifts up everything but her middle finger which stays on the 2nd fret of the A string. She plays a UDU before switching to the C. She doesn't do this every time, though. Also, sometimes she plays the C/G without her middle finger.
