It's not as clear in the original version, but sometimes there's a Cmaj7 in the
bars of C. It's played by lifting your first finger off the B string on the third
strum, like so, and it adds a different sound to the song.

It's optional, and not written out, but it makes a very repetitive, beautiful song more
interesting and melancholy. Open to feedback :)
