Is this strumming pattern correct?

Am                                     C
All the leaves on the giving tree have fallen
             Dm           C  G
No shade to crawl in underneath
Am                                       C
I've got scars from a pocket knife where you carved
Dm              C  G
your heart into me
 
 
           F           C                  G     C
If all you wanted was love why would you use me up
        F           G              C    C7
cut me down build a boat and sail away
           F         C      E           Am
when all i wanted to be was your giving tree
        F           G             C
settle down build a home make you happy
 
 
   Am                                  C
I lie awake in the dead of night and i wonder
      Dm           C  G
whose covers your between
    Am                                 C
you feel sad lying in his bed you feel hallow
       Dm                 C  G
so you crawl home back to me
 
 
           F           C                 G      C
if all you wanted was love why would you use me up
       F            G             C    C7
cut me down build a boat and sail away
           F         C      E           Am
when all i wanted to be was your giving tree
       F            G             C
settle down build a home make you happy
 
Dm
i see a trail that starts
F                       C
a line of broken hearts behind you
               G
that leads you back to me
Dm                           F                         G
one sad and lonely fool with nothing left but roots to show oh oh
 
           F           C                  G     C
if all you wanted was love why would you use me up
        F           G             C    C7
cut me down build a boat and sail away
            F        C       E          Am
when all i wanted to be was your giving tree
       F            G             C
settle down build a home make you happy
 
       F            G             C
settle down build a home make you happy

This really needs to be played with a capo on the 2nd fret or transposed up +2 to achieve a sound closer to the original song.

Great tab.
