Another little garnish for the tune....

Try substituting Asus2 and Esus4 during the longer sections when the A and E held.
To get a feel of how they fit together, play an A then an Asus2, then back to A
again. Alternate with the E, then Esus4, then E again as well. The "sus"
(suspended) chords resolve very nicely back to their respective major chords.

You can also open up the sound of the C#mi chord by playing it this way:
