I like:
d D x UD
Sorry about the weird notation... the small d means to strum lightly just the first 2 or three strings then the x is a little pause like quarter then the UD are quick like eighths.

loved this tab, if you make it more accurate to the actual song you could pluck 2(c) string and then pluck 3rd(e) string and 4th(a) string at the same time for over 4 times each cord
