Suggest playing the Am with the middle, ring and pinky fingers in order to slide in and out of the Bm more easily.

The 1st beat of every chord should be strummed near the bridge as a quick arpeggio

You may wish to try these Strum Patterns:

* 1st line of verse: d du udu for G & Am

* 2nd line of verse: d du for Bm & Am; back to d du udu for G

* Last line of verse: series of downstokes for C chord

* Chorus: mostly downstrokes on each word; ocassional du

* Bridge: d du udu for 1st Bm & Am
d du for 2nd Bm & Am
d du udu d du udu for G
