The guitarist throws in a few subtle chord varitions,
which I've shown, the oddest is his maj7's in Verse 4,
not sure it really works myself, I'd stick to an A if
you don't like those. With the add#11, he only appears
to throw this in once, whereas, on the album that's a
key figure on piano. His sus4's are pretty random too,
so just pick and choose which you want to use or not.
You could play Verses 1 and 4 just like Verse 2,
which has the simplest chords.
