Stay or Leave Help

I'm trying to get this song down. What is the strumming pattern like. Do you play each chord once then switch or is there a certain pattern. Any help would help. thanks

Just concentrate on the base notes and then fill in the gaps with the strumming.

The base notes would be the single notes right. But is the strumming one strumm for the chord then the next chord or what?

I pick down on the bass note, then strum only three times: up, down, up.

so it's: pick,up,down,up pick(new chord), up,down,up

I see Matty plays it as pick and 4 strums, but I could not get the timing down and am not sure how you pick play four strums and wind up back where you started in time. Maybe I just suck though. that's always a possibility.
