When you listen to the song they don't jump out at you but they make the difference between an average tune and one that's got something about it. The changes are in the verse so I put the time under each bar to keep things straight. Play the odd eighth bars with steady eighth note strums to accent the shifting time. They should all be steady but just an unusual number of strums.
