Are these strumming patterns correct?

[Intro]
 
 
G G Am     G G Am     F F G     G G Am
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G G Am                     G G Am
       Sweet Child in time
                     F F G
 you'll see the line
                   G G Am
The line that's drawn between
               G G Am
The good and the bad
                        G G Am
See the blind man
                        F F G
 Shooting at the world
                     G G Am
Bullets flying
               G G Am
 taking toll
 
 
                   G G Am
If you've been bad,
                   F F G
Lord I bet you have
                        G G Am
And you've not been hit
                 G G Am
by flying lead
                             G G Am
You'd better close your eyes
                   F F G
and bow your head
 
G G Am
       Wait for the ricochet
G G Am / G G Am / F F G / G G Am
(Same chord sequence repeated three times
with the infamous screams over)
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
 
[Verse 2] (as first)
 
G G Am                     G G Am
       Sweet Child in time
                     F F G
 you'll see the line
                   G G Am
The line that's drawn between
               G G Am
The good and the bad
                        G G Am
See the blind man
                        F F G
 Shooting at the world
                     G G Am
Bullets flying
               G G Am
 taking toll
 
 
                   G G Am
If you've been bad,
                   F F G
Lord I bet you have
                        G G Am
And you've not been hit
                 G G Am
by flying lead
                             G G Am
You'd better close your eyes
                   F F G
and bow your head
 
G G Am
    (and)   Wait for the ricochet
 
G G Am / G G Am / F F G / G G Am
(Same chord sequence repeated (four times?) with the infamous screams over)
 
[Instrumental] - "FINALE"
 
(Screams and ad lib)
