Fingering:

Alternative fingering for C and Csus :
    C                  Csus
___________         ___________
|_|_1_1_1_1 10th    |_|_1_1_1_1  10th fret
|_|_|_|_|_|         |_|_|_|_|_|
|_|_|_3_3_3         |_|_|_3_3_3
|_|_|_|_4_|         |_|_|_|_4_4


If the C,Csus at the 10th fret is too trebly or hard on the fingers, it
also works playing C,Csus at the nut (or possibly C,F {bracketed}) like
this:

   // C                                      |     x_____o___o
e-||-----------0----------|---------0--------|---  |_|_|_|_1_|
B-||.-------------(1)-----|------------1-----|---  |_|_|_|_|_|
G-||.-----------------(0)-|---------------0--|---  |_3_4_|_|_|
D-||----------------------|------------------|---  |_|_|_|_|_|
A-||---3----3-------------|--3----3----------|---
  \\

    Csus or {F}                              \\    x_____o____
e--------------1----------|---------1---------||-  |_|_|_|_1_1
B-----------------(1)-----|------------1-----.||-  |_|_|_|_|_|
G---------------------(0)-|---------------0--.||-  |_3_4_|_|_|
D-----{3}--{3}------------|-{3}--{3}----------||-  |_|_|_|_|_|
A------3----3-------------|--3----3-----------||-
                                             //


Arrangement:

If you don't have loads of bass guitar in the back, it might be better to
strum C,Csus or even C,F at the prechorus, rather than continuing picking
pattern 1.
