Here is the CAPOED version.
Strumming pattern can alternate quickly between upstrum & downstrum on the end of strumming pattern,
or measure, to sound more fluid.
 The G to Dsus/F#, seen just prior to chorus, is a simple walkdown from G to Em. After G, use index finger
on the 6th string, 2nd fret, while keeping your pinky down on the 1st string, 3rd fret,
maintaining high end of G (Dsus/F#). Can add ring finger to 2nd string 3rd fret, for a "fuller" G if
desired.
