Strumming

Edit

Are these strumming patterns correct?

You'll need to tune all the strings on your guitar down a step and a half to play this song.
 
This song switches strumming style back and forth between palm muted strums,rapid down strums and
big open strums. Listen to: https://youtu.be/IlqOREk35AE to get a better idea of the nuances of when each
strumming pattern is used and how the palm muting in the verses sounds.
 
Your third finger stays on the third fret of the first string for the whole song.
 
During the chorus, instrumental and outro sections - the guitar is sometimes hitting second fret of the fifth
string when switching from A7sus2 to Cmaj7sus2 and vice versa.

[Verse 1]
G
  Dutch kids huff balloons in the parking lot
 
The golden arches illuminate the business park
A7sus2
     I eat myself to death, feed the corporate machine
 
I watch the movies, recite every line and scene
Cmaj7sus2
     God bless America and all of its allies
A7sus2                                               G
     I'm not the first to live with wool over my eyes
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
  I am so blissfully unaware of everything
 
Kids in Gaza are bombed, and I'm just out of it
A7sus2
    The tensions of the world are rising higher
 
We're probably due another war with all this ire
Cmaj7sus2
     I'm not smart enough to change a thing
        A7sus2                                        G G Gadd9 G*
I've no answers, only questions, don't you ask a thing
 
 
[Chorus]
        Cmaj7sus2               A7sus2         Cmaj7sus2  G
Oh, the silver-tongue suits and cartoons, they rule my    world
D6sus4       A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2           G D6sus4
Saying it's a  high time for hypersonic missiles
             Cmaj7sus2
But when the bombs drop, darling
    A7sus2              Cmaj7sus2        G
Can you say that you've lived your life?
D6sus4       A7sus2          Cmaj7sus2           G D6sus4
Oh, this is a  high time for hypersonic missiles
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
The cities lie like tumours all across the world
 
A cancer eating mankind, hitting it on blindside
A7sus2
They say I'm a nihilist 'cause I can't see
 
Any decent rhyme or reason for the life of you and me
         Cmaj7sus2
But I believe in what I'm feeling, and I'm falling for you
         A7sus2                                                  G      G Gadd9 G*
This world is gonna end, but 'til then, I'll give you everything I have
                         Cmaj7sus2  A7sus2 Cmaj7sus2 G D6sus4
I'll give you everything I        have

I think you're on the right track and I like this tab more than any other but the a7sus2 just doesn't sound the same as the vid. That being said I'm not quite sure what it is. Edit: The A7sus2 is tabbed as x20003 but was it a typo and should have been x02003?? that sounds more like what sam is playing to me.

Cool tab bro
