Time signature changes for the whole song.

The pattern stays the same for most of the verses.

Sometimes there is an extra (half)bar at the end.

The first verse misses out on the D7/F# in the second line.

The last verse of Verse 7 has a slight variation.

The last line of the last verse has full bars of Em9 and D7/F#.
