I like to strum along an sing on my own to my favorite songs, so I tried to break down this song into its
chords.The verses are in 9/8 and the choruses and second part of the interlude in 5/4, so it's quite hard to
match the strumming to the vocals. To get a feeling for the timing of the strums I suggest taking a look at
the drum track of this Amazing guitar pro version:

Once you get the timing right the rest is quite straightforward.
