In terms of strumming pattern, the 
easiest way is to strum each chord 
downward
four times with a palm slap between 
each downward stroke, e.g. for the 
first
chord Bm, it would be:
E|-2-x-2-x-2-x-2-x|
B|-3-x-3-x-3-x-3-x|
G|-4-x-4-x-4-x-4-x|
D|-4-x-4-x-4-x-4-x|
A|-2-x-2-x-2-x-2-x|
E|---x-------x---x|
