I didn't mean to confuse you if I did, try counting 1, 2, 3, 4 along with the music for "Coward of the county". Right after you count each number one of the guitars strums a chord, while another guitar plays a different rhythm pattern. Just strum the C chord 4 times, then the F chord 2 times, the C chord 8 times, and the G chord 2 times.

I will tell you that this rhythm is harder to do without someone else playing rhythm behind you, because the part you're doing is on the downstroke. If you play the pattern above, and count along with it, you'll hear that it sounds like the pattern they're playing. This covers half of the verse, and let me know if you need help figuring out the rest.
