As the song progresses, Sufjan throws in the open high E string as he
pleases on the Cadd9, Am, and F chords, as such:

That's how he includes it most of the time, but he varies it up a lot,
especially as the song builds, so put it wherever you like. Chords
non-relative to the capo are Fm Ebadd9 Cm Ab (key of Eb).
