There Is Some Leeway As To Wether To Play The Sus2 Chord Or Its Respective Add2 (Aka
Add9) Counterpart.

Fingerings :
The Easiest Method Is To Place The Ring Finger On The 3Rd Fret Of The 2Nd String And
Build All Chords Around That Pivot Point. Lift Briefly When Needed. This Way It's
Easy To Achieve A Nice Clean Sound While Barely Having To Move The Left Hand During
The Whole Song.

Continue The Picking Pattern From The Intro In The Verses. Detailed Picking Patterns
For The Choruses Can Be Found Below The Song.

Chorus picking patterns
There Are Six Choruses In Total, Which Fall Into Two Groups. Choruses 1 And 4 Have
No Real Text, Just "Ooh", Whereas Choruses 2, 3, 5 And 6 Feature Lyrics. Both Groups
Are Harmonically The Same, But Played Differently.

On Top Of That, Their Last Lines Differ, Except For Choruses 3, 4 And 5, Which Share
The Same Ending, Because They Lead Up To Yet Another Chorus.

This Structure Is Reflected In The Way The Picking Patterns Below Are Organized, Two
Groups Plus Individual Last Lines (Continuations Irrespective Of Group).
