There is a individual string picking pattern for the D chord that is used throughout the song and as far as i understand the rest of the chords are just strummed. I'm going to the D pattern here and then when I align the chords with the lyrics I'm just going to D as shorthand for the pattern below. In other words, when you see D in the song, play this:
And repeat as necessary. I'm pretty sure thats right but i could be off in a few places. all the high e sting notes double the amount as the others. It looks hard for beginners you pick it up really quick if you get into the rhythm of it.
Here's the chords. Fairly simple.
