So this is really easy once you get the hang of it but it takes a little time to get the
rhythm right.

You start on an Am for two beats then move the finger that's on the second fret of the D
string up to the second fret of the A string for two beats (Amadd9). Then A regular C
for two beats, then pull off on the D string for two beats (Csus2).  I also like to pull 
off on the B string in the middle of playing the Fs in the verses.
