I wouldn't blame you if you just went straight 4/4 to make it quicker to learn. The verses follow a nearly identical pattern with one exception. The Riff A interlude in the middle of each verse is a different length each time. First verse he plays it 4 times, second verse 2 times, third verse 3 times!
