Nb: There are two guitars on this track and any solo arrangement will be enhanced with some ‘vamping’ between 
the G and Gsus4 in the verse and also use of a low G bass with the C chord (particularly in the chorus), 
and F# bass with the Bm chord. Best bet as always is to listen for yourself and see what you think works 
best.
