Use the barred version of the C chord except on the first line of each
verse where the conventional C chord works best.

At the end of the chorus you can play the lick (Fill 2) if you want but
the C, Csus2 and Csus4 chords also fit nicely and are easy to play.

Fill 1
Optional guitar fill lead-in at the start of each half of the chorus (at
the F Cm chords)

                    Why can't...
