Focus on the strumming more than the timing, I'd say. The timing will come once
you've got the strum down and, until then, whenever you play it, just say you've
got punk spirit and you don't need to follow anybody's timing. I don't focus on
it too much with this song, so the chord placements might not be wholly accurate,
but they'll give you a good idea.
Playing along with the recording (or the video below) will help a lot.
Tuning: Standard
Capo: None
