C Can Be Replaced With Cmaj7 :)

With The Strumming Pattern, It Boils Down To That But With Some Notes Picked. Usually, With G Chord, The
Picked Notes Are 6Th String And 4Th String With The Strumming On The Higher Strings. C Is 5Th And 4Th, D Is
3Rd And 5Th. If You Listen To The Song, You'll See What I Mean.
