I tend to play the live arrangement moreso than the album arrangement ('cause it's easier). I have no idea what one would call this particular chord progression, but it's a very common one- similar to "Hey Jude," "Candle in the Wind," "Rocket Man," etc.

Stevie's FM stuff is pretty easy... but her solo stuff, especially the stuff played by Roy Bittan, can be pretty tough. As Stevie herself once said, sometimes it's a bitch!
