The following chord sequence comes several times and should be played accordingly to these tempos:
3/2    1          1/2    1/2        1/2
C      Csus2      C      Csus4      Csus2
As it is too long to put above the lyrics, I just decided to call it the "C chord sequence".
P.S.: This chord sequence is always played twice.
