So, choose the fingering that suits you best. I mean, the idea is to avoid scuttling up and down the fretboard too much. The chords are in 2 columns below. You should probably stick to one column for one way of playing (verse chords only). An alternative ending might be just to end on the Gsus4 ('cos it's a great chord!).
