Is this strumming pattern correct?

[Intro]
Am  F  C  G  x2
 
[Verse 1]
Am              F
   I'm an ocean  in your bedroom
C                     G
   Make you feel warm, make you wanna re-assume
Am        F       C       G
   Now we know it all for sure.
 
Am                F
   I'm a dancehall, dirty breakbeat
C                     G
   make the snow fall up from underneath your feet.
Am        F       C       G
   Not alone, I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go!
 
[Instrumental]
Am  F  C  G  x2
 
[Verse 2]
Am               F
   I'm a meth lab, first rehab
C                     G
   Take it all off and step inside the running cab
Am        F       C       G
   There's a love that knows the way
 
Am                F
   I'm the rainbow in your jail cell
C                     G
   All the memories of everything you've ever smelled.
Am        F       C         G
   Not alone, I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go!
 
[Chorus]
Am              F
Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
C                     G
  Don't forget me, I can't hide it
Am        F       C       G
   Come again get me excited
 
[Instrumental]
Am  F  C  G  x2
 
[Verse 3]
Am              F
   I'm an inbred and a pothead
C                     G
   Two legs that you spread inside a tool shed
Am        F       C       G
   Now we know it all for sure.
 
Am                 F
   I could show you to the free field
C                     G
   Overcome and more will always be revealed
Am        F       C       G
   Not alone, I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go!
 
[Chorus]
Am              F
Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
C                     G
   Don't forget me, I can't hide it
Am        F       C       G
   Come again get me excited
 
Am              F
Sideways falling, more will be revealed my friend
C                     G
   Don't forget me, I can't hide it
Am        F       C       G
there's a match now let me let me light it
 
[Solo]
Am  F  C  G  x4
 
[Verse 4]
Am                 F
   I'm the bloodstain on your shirtsleeve
C                     G
   Coming down and more are coming to believe.
Am        F       C       G
   Now we know it all for sure.
 
Am                    F
   Make the hair stand up on your arm
C                     G
   Teach you how to dance inside the funny farm
                     Am        F       C       G
   Not alone, I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go.
 
[Outro]
Am             F           C              G
I'll be there, tell me when you wanna go
Am              F            C               G
come on then and tell me when you want to go
Am            F           C              G
more will be revealed my friend

You guys really can't fault the tabber for what they were trying to do. The chords are A5 - F5 - C5 - G5, and this generally translates to being in A minor, to which the diatonic chords would be Am - F - C - G. They're correct, it just sounds weird because there's not a lot of tonality in the chords and harmonies, so you can't really hear the chord qualities. Yeah, if you're playing this by yourself on an acoustic guitar, do yourself the favor and play the power chords instead. But these are right.

the person above me is wrong

this is the bass tab. if u watch them live its flea that plays this. the guitar is sumin like this for the verse e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0 b-------------------------------------- g-------------------------------------- e-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7- b------------------------------------- g------------------------------------- all hammer ons t p t p t p t p t p e-10-8-5-10-8-5-10-8-5-10-8-5-10-8-5 b----------------------------------- g----------------------------------- t = tap and p = pull off obviouls ythis is not the correct number of times u do this but you get the idea. thanks for the tab tho
