Alenjandro strums
G (3x0030)          |  His chords differ on the last string,
Dsus2 (xx0230)      |  which is open due to the different tuning.
Em7 (022030)        |  Listen out or watch the video for the strumming pattern
Cadd9 (0320030)     |  (Mostly down strokes, with an upstroke between changing chords)

Continue strumming same pattern
G, Dsus2, Em7, Cadd9
