I figured this out from the video acoustic version of this song played by Chris Cornell
"Stripped" (it's on youtube).
The (C*) just means: After strumming the Am chord, move your middle finger to the A
to play the bass note before switching over to the C chord.
Hint: When playing the G chord, to get to the G7 easier, play it like a C chord is
with the third finger (or ring finger) on the low E string, and your pinky on the high E,
way you can just lift your pinky and put your first finger on the high E (first fret) for the G7.
