Some of the names of the chords in the lesson aren't matching up to the chord boxes on screen. Sorry about that! A little oversight on my part.

This is a great version of the song, and taught well. Thanks 🙏

Thank you so much. I could never get the timing at the 10:00 mark. You are the first to explain it

Thank you so much for the chords - this is really great.

But I do have to correct you on the timing change you talk about - there is no such thing in the band's recording that I have always heard - and I just went to listen to it to make sure I wasn't kidding myself. The verse definitely remains in 4/4 time, nice and steady.

I just searched for a live version to see if they changed the way they play it live, and on the one I clicked on, the way the percussion is done could come across like a change in steady beat to a less-trained rhythm ear, but still is definitely a steady 4/4.
