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-----------------| A|----------------3---3---3---3---0---0---0---0-------------------| E|------------------------------------------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| 1eAa2eAa3eAa4eAa1 ... 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).
