Lots of options!

You can use the V chord in G, which is D. So, these notes, d-d-e-f#, will walk nicely into a G chord. Or you can walk down, d-c-b-a!

Or you can use the IV chord, which is C. Walk up, c-d-e-f# or down, c-c-b-a.

I cover this here.

Depends on how much time you have or what sounds better to you in your song! Hope this helps!
