This the general idea for the 
strumming that Jeff does for the 
song.  I use my thumb
to hit the bass note continually, 
and my ring and middle fingers to do
 quick strums of
some of the middle strings (it's not
 precise).  I'll indicate with an 
"x" when the bass
note is slapped with the thumb (at 
leaat for the first verse, because 
it's an essenstial
part of the way the song is played, 
and gives it that eerie sound it 
has.
