    You could try putting "pigs on the wing cover" into youtube and you get a load of people playing it where you can see their strumming hand. Or here is Roger strumming away for a bit of it, might help.

    I don't know if this will help but....You don't always strum the whole of a chord when playing it,

    so for instance when play a bar of G, sometimes you would strum

    e 3 e3 e3 e3 e3
    b 3.....b3 b3 b3
    g 0..........g0 g0
    d 0................
    a 2................
    E 3..................

    It does that kind of thing a lot but not always the same way, it switches around a lot.
