I've seen this tabbed before but not 100% right, so I'm gonna try.
The transition from Gmaj7 to G5 and C to Csus2 is very quick, so to space everything
out correctly, I'm just gonna tab it:  Gmaj7* and C*  
This just means to alternate between chords quickly.   

Chords Used:
  G  Gmaj7 G5 C  Csus2 A7 D  Dadd9
--3--2-----3--0--0-----0--2--0--
--3--3-----3--1--1-----2--3--3--
--0--0-----0--0--0-----0--2--0--
--0--0-----0--2--0-----2--0--4--
--2--x-----x--3--3-----0--x--5--
--3--3-----3--x--x-----x--x--x--
                                                 

This song is all chords, but to spice it up just a bit (no offense, Dave) you can 
play this riff.  It's the base part, but if you have a second guitar or just want 
to mess around, you can play it.

Optional Riff:
