Strumming

Are these strumming patterns correct?

A big Oasis classic and probably one of the best b-side's you'll ever hear.

[Verse]
 
  Am                                  Dsus2  G
I don't know what it is that makes me feel alive
  Am                                     Dsus2    G
I don't know how to wake the things that sleep inside
  Am                            Dsus2    G       Am    Dsus2 G
I only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes
 
  Am                               Dsus2    G
I hope that I can say the things I wish I'd said
   Am                                Dsus2    G
To sing my soul to sleep and take me back to bed
    Am                            Dsus2  G
who wants to be alone when we can feel alive instead
 
[Interlude]
Am G D Fmaj7 E7
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Fmaj7 C     G         Fmaj7 C          G
Because we need   each other we believe  in one another
           Fmaj7  C          G                                   Fmaj7 C G
And I know we're  going to uncover what's sleepin' in our soul  
           Fmaj7 C     G         Fmaj7 C          G
because we need   each other we believe  in one another

And I know we're  going to uncover what's sleepin' in our soul        
                       Am G D Fmaj7 E
what's sleepin' in our soul...
 
 
[Verse]
Am                                  Dsus2    G
there are many things that i would like to know
Am                                  Dsus2    G
and there are many places that i wish to go
Am                                  Dsus2    G
but everything's depending on the way the wind may blow
Am                                  Dsus2    G
I dont know what it is that makes me feel alive
Am                                  Dsus2    G
i dont know how to wake the things that sleep inside
Am                                  Dsus2    G
i only wanna see the light that shines behind your eyes...

And I know we're  going to uncover what's sleepin' in our soul

the song at the intro is morning glory.

My guitar teacher is making me play this with an F barre chord instead of Fmaj7, even though Noel is clearly playing the easier one in all the live versions I've seen. Bastard!

as many of you should've noticed there's an error at the beggining of the tab where it says how to play the D#7. this is the right chord: D#7 e|---6--| B|---8--| G|---6--| D|---8--| A|---6--| E|---6--| as all the oasis tabs i've posted, this is the way that Noel (the one who writes the songs) plays them.
