Very few songs have big changes to the music. If you know the basic chorus and verse, you should be able to play the entire song if you know how many verses there are and when to play the chorus. I've posed a few where the verses have a few extra notes because of the lyrics but to most people, it wouldn't matter.
Makes you realize just how simple many songs really are. It's when you get into arrangements with more instruments that songs get more unique. Do an intro, sing some verses and chorus, do an instrumental solo in the middle, do some more verses and a chorus at the end. From a simple melody for the verse, the song now becomes a typical 3 minute song.
Take the basic blues melody "I woke up this morning, and found my baby gone" Everybody knows it and many songs use the same melody but the musical arrangement is changed enough that the songs are never the same.
I've posted a few tabs where I've run out of room so the last verse is just a tab. Others that don't have enough room, I'll do one chorus with (chorus) above it and every other spot that needs a chorus I just insert (chorus).
