This is an arrangement aimed as an acoustic guitar
accompaniment for a solo singer.
CAPO: 4th fret (Sounds in the key of F#)
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
D5 = xx023x F = xx3211 G7sus2 = 3xx2x1
C6add2 = x30230 FM7 = xx3210 G6sus2 = 3xx2x0
Bm11 = x20230 F6 = xx3231 Gsus2 = 3xx23x
BbM7-5 = x10230 FM7-5 = xx3200 Gsus2/4 = 3xx21x
D5/A = x0023x Gadd9 = 3xx20x
For the main riff I would use the middle and little fingers
to keep the shape on the 2nd & 3rd strings, and use the ring
finger to play the C bass, and the index to play the B and
Bb bass notes.
Here's two other lists of alternatives that could work for
the main chord progression:
D = x507xx D5 = xx0235
Csus2 = x305xx C6sus2 = x30035
Bm = x204xx Bm7#5 = x20035
Bb = x103xx BbM7add6 = x10035
D5/A = x002xx D5/A = x00235
