Back to the intro and the verse again

there are some little fills that are thrown in during the verse and a lot are reused in the solo
the solo to this song is almost never the same Dale is a player like Don Rich from the Buckaroos
He believes in a lot of Spontaneity when he plays he just has simple things he relies on
and in this song a lot of them are the same licks john fogerty has been coping for years

Here are a few of them you can build on

G---------------2p1p0------------2b-0h2bh4b----------------|
D--------------------3p0--0h2bh4b--------------------------|


There ya go just some basic licks you can throw in there to spice it up
and give it that authentic sound


Just listen to the song its really easy to play and a great song

ITS NOT COUNTRY ITS AMERIPOLITAN
