Tom Dumont mutes the strings to get the quick funk effect on the chords
but it sounds good played more freely so it's really up to you, and the
level of perfectionist in you, how you want to play this.

To transition into the Lady Saw sequence (or the third verse) play the
fourth fret on the bottom string a few times and then enter the next part.
If you're including the Lady Saw part then just play the chorus chords and
then go into the verse when Gwen comes back in.
If not, just go straight back into the verse.
