==============================================================
To make it more interesting, you can add some variations
to the chords, e.g.:
 
Dsus2  (x-x-0-2-3-0)
Gsus2  (3-x-0-2-0-3)
Gmaj7  (3-x-0-0-0-2)*
G6     (3-x-0-0-0-0)*
Asus2  (x-0-2-2-0-0)
A7sus  (x-0-2-0-3-0)**
A7     (x-0-2-0-2-0)**
 
*)  Play these chords on the 3rd (Gmaj7) and 4th (G6) beat after the G.
 
**) Play these chords at the A on the first line of the verse.
    So A7sus on 1st beat and A7 on 3rd.
    And the A7 on every 'meet'.
