I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Strumming Patterns for John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
This is also a video response to a request.
Rise Up Singing chapter: Funny Songs, p.73
Chords:
D A / - D / - G / A D
[D]John Jacob [A]Jingleheimer Schmidt
His name is my name [D]too
Whenever we go out, the [G]people start to shout
There goes [A]John Jacob Jingleheimer [D]Schmidt, la la la la la la la...
The thing that's been hardest for me with this book, is figuring out the strum pattern.
