Rules... A chord's a root, the 3rd, and the 5th. Leave the 5th alone, and fuck about with the 3rd, which is usually the 2nd string of ya chord. Go one fret either way on the major 3rd. Summit like that.
Hide Your Love Away is a lesson in suspended chords.
As is War is Over, for a bit more of a stretch.
Once you've got ya head / fingers round them, just hoy them in wherever ya feel they work.
No better place to start with this kind of palaver.I might get shot with shit for this, but you could play that using the Beatles/Oasis chords, with your ring finger on the B string and your pinky on the high E, both on third fret. Or you could hit the lead root note with your thumb, then hitting the other strings on the upstroke? I just tried it and both work. Also for for the little run down from the G note to the open E hit the F# on the way down for your little dum dum dum.
