The amount of words in each measure of the verses can be confusing when trying to visualize the "structure"
of the chords. So I had to simplify it a bit in my own bone-headed format, but it should help. Here you go.
G C D C
1 2 3 4 - 1 2 3 4 - 1 2 3 4 - 1 2 3 4
G F# Em C D G C D
1 2 3 4 - 1 2 3 4 - 1 2 3 4 - 1 2 3 4
The transition from verse to bridge is seamless, where the last measure of the verse could be confused for the
first measure of the bridge.
There is also a fast switch from G to C to G at the "me, Cassidy!" in the chorus.
Hope this helps.
