 The strumming pattern is very simple, and is best acquired from listening to the song
 and trying to play along with it. Roughly speaking, it's something like this:
D-DU  UDU D-DU  UDU D-DU  UDU UDU UDU
 And no, those aren't protons and neutrons, they're strokes. (Smile if you get that!)
 The chords as given above are my suggestions. Alternatively, you can use Am7 (002010)
 instead of Asus2, and you can play both halves of the chorus using the same chord
 progression (i..  replacing  with ).

 And honey you should know
 That I could never go on  without  you.
Green  eyes...

 Honey,  you are the sea
 Upon which  I float,
 And I came  here to talk
