[Performance notes, apply to taste]
The intro Am is played with some sus2 flavour (hammer-on the C).
For verse 3 specifically, consider adding some bass in G and E on Am chords,
and even hammering on the entire
chord. The G chord can be played extra D# and E's along, and the D can be
sus2. Strum the verse.
If any patient and meticulous listener able to pick out the fingerpicking
