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 


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

ITS NOT COUNTRY ITS AMERIPOLITAN
