I find it easier to use the ring finger on A string and the middle finger on D string
the intro Em flourishes,
it works well with the transition to the C chord, it just feels a little weird fingering
chord that way.
Another Em 'flourish':

This is the general riff for the verse:
He varies it a bit throughout the song, sometimes he just plays a
normal C chord without the variation. Listen to the song to get a bit of a feeling of it.
You can of course just strum the basic chords if you want.

CAPO ON 2ND FRET!!!
This is quite precisely correct. In the verses, during the decent from G to Em, he hits
again and a F# on the way down to Em. You can easily pick up how exactly he plays each
On D/F#, don't play the high e string, focus on the lower strings. Proceed
accordingly for the rest of the song.
Em C
Children broadnipple is burning
G
And the girls are getting sick
Em C
Of huffing glue up in the bathroom
