chords/special voicings

there are different ways of playing this chord i call Fsus2/A . i think i
hear different voicings in verse and chorus ( as pointed out below ) . but it
is of course not necessary to play these variations , i just think it sounds
nice . you may as well just take the first voicing and use it throughout the
song . one can even use it to substitute the Fmaj7 ( add9 ) in the chorus .
theyre all really close .
