The chord pattern used in the Intro & Instrumental can be used throughout.
A hammer on the bass string of the F#5 & B5 chords.
I decided to not clutter up the Verse & Chorus sections with that many chords
Define:
E6sus2 044xxx
F#5 244xxx
A6sus2 x044xx
B5 x244xx
C#5 x466xx
[Intro]

[Verse 2]
F#5I don't want no one to squeeze me,
