then after that just play this throughout the verse...

         C        F           C
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
              C            F                      C
And when it's cold outside, I've got the month of May


CHORUS:
  C Dm    F   G
  I guess you say,
  C        Dm      F         G
  What can make me feel this way?
  C
  My girl...
                F         G7
  Talkin' 'bout my girl


I've got so much honey the birds envy me
I've got a sweeter song (baby), than the birds and the bees
(Chorus)

now after this you have everything comes to a stop and it's back to the beginning with a bass intro. you repeat the intro as before,

Intro, bass intro then lead guitar....

e|-------------|-------------|
B|-----------1-|-----------1-|
G|-------0-2---|-------0-2---|
D|---0-2-------|---0-2-------|
A|-3-----------|-3-----------|
E|-------------|-------------|

e|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
B|-----------1-|-------------|-----------1-|-------------|
G|-------0-2---|-------------|-------0-2---|-------------|
D|---0-2-------|-------0-----|---0-2-------|-------0-----|
A|-3-----------|-----0---3-0-|-3-----------|-----0---3-0-|
E|-------------|-1-3---------|-------------|-1-3---------|

then there is a bit of a break, you can make something up then you have a key change, be on your toes for this one...

e|-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------|
B|-----------3-|-------------|-----------3-|-----------3-|
G|-------2-4---|-------------|-------2-4---|-------2-4---|
D|---2-4-------|-------2-----|---2-4-------|---2-4-------|
A|-5-----------|-----2---3-0-|-5-----------|-5-----------|
E|-------------|-3-5---------|-------------|-------------|


that also means the chords change too...

        D           G             D
I don't need no money, fortune or fame
        D                G                 D            
I've got all the riches, baby, one man can claim

(Chorus)

  D Em   G   A
  I guess you say,
  D        Em      G         A
  What can make me feel this way?
  D
  My girl...
                G         A7
  Talkin' 'bout my girl

...and thats about it. you'll have to listen to the song and play along with it for a little while to get comfortable with it but I think this will send you on your way. It may not be correct but everything sounds right and fits.
