The new idea: playing softly
Up to now you have been strumming to get through. This song is gentle, so try playing it quieter. Strum with less arm and more wrist, and hold your pick loosely, or just use your thumb. You will hear every chord more clearly, including the ones that buzz.
Change the chords in your head first
Before you play along, say the chords out loud in time with the song, as they come in the chart: G, C, D, then Em, D, C, G. It helps your hands to know what is next, and you can do it anywhere.
Em to G
Remember the trick: play Em with first and second fingers, and your first finger stays put when you go to G.
You're done when: you can play through it softly enough that someone could talk over it. Quiet is harder than loud, and it is a sign you have real control now.
