The B7 is playing the role of a transitional chord between the G and C chords.
Because of this, it is possible to just play the B bass note to highlight that movement.
It is also possible to play a B bass note (5th string, 2nd fret) with the D, G and B open strings
played gently.  This would change the chord to a version of either a G or an Em7.
I choose to play a B7 but only on the middle 4 strings, thus voicing the B D# A and open B.
This chord choice lends a clearer, yet moodier feel, and works very well the way I fingerpick the song.
Any of these ways will work and are all harmonically correct.
See which way works best for your style and your own interpretation of the song.
