Is this strumming pattern correct?

[Verse 1]
      E                                     A
I was born in the country and raised in the town
              E      B         C#m
I spent every Sunday wandering around
  E                                       A
I raised lots of cane till my momma would cry
              E                        C#m
She prayed my harvest would wither and die
A                     B          A
Wither and die, Lord, wither and die
 
 
[Chorus]
      A                                          E
These slow-going highways and red-running river I choose
    A                                        E
The song of a siren, the rhythm of nothing to lose
      B                             A                      E
Every step off the front porch is a step into rocking chair blues
 
 
[Verse 2]
  E                                   A
I went down to Oxford to find me some blues
              E        B           C#m
I measure the miles by holes in my shoes
   E                                 A
I listen for autumn and followed the sound
              E                          C#m
And left off the things that fell to the ground
A                        B           E
Fell to the ground, Lord, fell to the ground
 
 
[Chorus]
      A                                          E
These slow-going highways and red-running river I choose
    A                                        E
The song of a siren, the rhythm of nothing to lose
      B                             A                      E
Every step off the front porch is a step into rocking chair blues
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
 
[Verse 3]
F#m7                                  E
If I wandered away would you call me back?
        F#          B
'Cause I'm already gone
F#m                                 F#      B
I'm drifting astray and humming the highway song
      E                                     A
I was born in the country and raised in the town
              E      B         C#m
I spent every Sunday wandering around
A                      B         E
Wandering around, Lord, wandering around

I think this is off by 1/2 step. Transpose this -5, but capo on 4, and that matches the sound on the Dark Holler Pop album. Plus, in C you can hit the embellishments naturally like the pointer finger hammer onto Am, etc.
