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

C------------2p0---------------------------2h4b------------|
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
