What specifically are you having trouble with?? The rhythm of the strumming or the chords itself???

You do have your guitar tuned to Drop D and not standard right. If its just the chorus your having trouble with, its a possibility since its the only part of that song that uses the 6th string (low E, which for drop D, is tuned to D)

Oh, then you just need to practice it.If it sounds like the wrong notes, then you have a wrong tab or your hitting the wrong frets. If it sounds like the right ntes, just sloppy, then just start slower and build up untill you can play it up to speed cleanly.

A trick on the part where it goes back and forth between a few chords..... don't take your hand off the fretboard just pick the first chord and slide to the rest. It sounds the same and is easier to play that way.
