NOTE:  You can play the G and D7 riffs most anytime you want, including
over the lyrics (and do play the D7 whenever that chord appears).  Both
should be played while strumming. For the G riff, keep strumming the four
strings showm (EBGD), and slide a finger around the E string to play the
melody line.
