Blue Rodeo make liberal use of suspended chords. It adds flavour to the
song, especially if you are playing it solo on an acoustic guitar. In this
song, the E4 chord pops up everywhere (aside from where it's noted in the
intro). Here's one way to play a bar of E while incorporating this
embellishment. I use this all through the song, particularly in the first
bar of two consecutive bars of E. I tend to play a straight E chord in a
bar leading up to a B7 chord, and sometimes in the bars leading up to A
chords. Throw it in wherever it feels comfortable for you.

ie. At the asterisk, hammer your pinky finger on to the third string/second
fret to create an E4 chord.
