I still don't know play repeats
I want to play “chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus” but
I don’t know how to add info so MuseScore will do that.
I would like to keep the chorus-verse order on the page like I have it.
Would someone do the attached for me and tell me what was done?

I should have said “chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus”
|:Chorus, Fine, Vers, D.
C. al Fine:| with a play count of 3 for the last measure

But Chorus 2 is different from chorus 1.

You need to do this to the measure with the end-repeat barline :|

D.c. attached to a measure means
jump back to the beginning after the measure is played
Am I correct?

Yes

Generally speaking yes, more complete would be:
Jump back to the beginning after this measure has been played for the last time (not counting an eventual replay caused by the jump).
That means if your measure has both an end repeat barline as well as a D.C.; it will first use up all its number of normal repeats from that end repeat barline before taking the D.C. jump.

How about this:

My suggestions is to not think in terms of how to get MuseScore to play back what you have already written the way you intend, but to best actually notate this in a way that will be clear to real musicians. If you do that, the MuseScore playback practically takes care of itself.
The clearest most obvious way I can think to notate C-V-C-V-C would be to write out C-V, put repeat signs around the whole thing, and then either recopy the C at the end (by far the simplest and clearest and least likely to lead to confusion in performance) or else add a D.C. al Fine and put the Fine after the C (takes less space but increases potential for confusion). Either method will work perfectly right out of the box as far as MuseScore's playback is concerned.

It looks like the C (chorus) at the end - denoted by the OP's 2nd volta - is different from the first (repeated) chorus.
So, putting "...repeat signs around the whole thing [CV], and then [to] recopy the C at the end does work; but this adds an entire third chorus (16 measures) with 3 measures at the end being the only difference.
However...
To add ...a D.C. al Fine and put the Fine after the C, would not properly end the song on the Eb4 (as in the second volta).

I was going more.based on what he said he wanted, not what was there now. But sure, if you want a different final ending chorus, either write it out as my first suggestion or use a Coda.
