As the song progresses, Sufjan throws in the open high E string as he
pleases on the Cadd9, Am, and F chords, as such:
  Dm              Cadd9           Am              F
e|-----1-------1-----------0---------------0-----------0-------0--| 
B|---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---1---1---1---1---1---1---1---1---1| 
G|-2-------2-------0---0-------0---2---2-------2---2-------2------| 
D|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---2---2---2---2---2---2---2---2-----------------|

That's how he includes it most of the time, but he varies it up a lot,
especially as the song builds, so put it wherever you like. Chords
non-relative to the capo are Fm Ebadd9 Cm Ab (key of Eb).
