I think the riff-
Riff:
[C] [C] [stop] [C] [C] [stop] [C] [Cmaj7] [C6] [G]
-goes, 1 2 Stop 1 2 Stop 1 2 3 4?
In songs like this one, where an Em chord comes right after a G chord, I like to just hold the G chord and add my pinky on the C string at the fourth fret to complete the Em. The C string will also still be fretted at the second fret by my index finger, but that just gets "cancelled out". It just seems to make a smoother transition, rather than repositioning all of my other fingers....
