So while playing this section, if you sing/think to yourself 'They've got cars big as bars...' through to '...Broadway was waiting for me', you'll find the rhythm and the chord changes come quite naturally. As to UkePeas' query regarding the strumming pattern, there's actually 3 different time signatures in this song. The first two verses are in 4/4 time, the penny-whistle parts, last 3 verses and choruses are in 6/8 time, and there's one bar of 5/4 time linking the two sections. The 6/8 section is what James Hill would call 'metrical triplets' so that's how I'd play that, triplet strums all the way from the first penny-whistle part right through to the end.
