Nice job teaching. I guess in songwriting like Stevie's, which avoids traditional structure much of the time, it's OK for different people to refer to different sections by different names. For example, what he calls the pre-chorus I call the chorus, & what he calls the chorus I would call a secondary refrain or perhaps a secondary chorus. The guitar magazines agree with him: When they run a RHIANNON arrangement for guitar, they refer to the section in the major (C - F) as the pre-chorus. I don't call it the pre-chorus because I consider it the musical & narrative center of the song, & besides it doesn't lead to (what they call) the chorus the first time through.
