Verse
In the verse, you can strum or finger pick the chord, just listen to the song
and do what sounds good, as long as you stay on the chord. Its pretty easy.

Backing guitar for final chorus
Basically, just have another guitar with a different sound, possibly nylon,
play the bass chord notes along with the regular guitar, with an open string above it.
