To hear the track, copy and paste this link:
For the verses play the G chord using the ring finger on the
6th string, middle finger on 5th string and the little finger on
the 1st string. Then for the C/G change, move the middle finger
to the 4th string and add the index finger on the 2nd string,
don't hit the 5th string but emphasise the top four strings
whilst the bass note sustains. Alternate between these two shapes.
G = 320003 B7 = x21202 D7 = xx0212
G7 = 320001 Em = xx2000 D7sus4 = xx0213
