Before 1st and 2nd verses:
2 times:  11/8                  also twice:
e-----------------------------|---11-13-13b14-13-11-13b14-13-11-11-11------------|
b-13-13-13-13p11--13b15p11----|-13------------------------------------13---------|

d-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
a-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
e-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|

chorus: 6/8 (4x)     Over solo and last verse: several times
e-------------------|-----------------------------|
b-------------------|------------8----------------|
g-------------------|------------8----------------|
d-101010-8----------|---10--8-------10--8---------|
a-101010-8----------|---------10------------------|
e--8-8-8-6----------|-8---------------------------|

The structure is easy, the final chords that segue into "PRF" are just the 2 chorus chords again.
Good luck.
