(since Gmaj7/F# takes a bunch of space to write, I'll just refer to it at G7
in the chords.)
(This is how I play this song acoustic. Obviously all the C and Cmaj chords are
interchangeable (likewise with G and Gmaj), but I just gave my preference as
sometimes it's easier or sounds better to me to use a certain one.)

(It sounds good just ending there on the G, but if you want to play along to
the fade out section after the last drum break on the studio recording,
then just play this over and over)
