OK -quick explaination. The 'Free,Free set them free' vocal section I class as the 
'post chorus' .Listen to the song to get the feel of the verse/post Chorus bit.
Chorus -the number of B's,G's and A's is approximate-listen to the song for changes
In the chorus,the brackets with the T's over the notes are triplets.Not in the song but very effective.
Bridge is slapped and popped.Chord Sequence is FECG x3 and then FEC and return to the
3rd Verse 
As ever,listen to the song for the structure.

Not perfect but not far off.Enjoy!
