Great song. The trick is in the time changes; the verses are in 5/4,

the bridge and chorus in 3/4. (The chords are easier than they look.)

This is slightly modified from a songbook version. D7+ is D7

augmented, i.e. with a sharped 5th: xx0312. The book has it with a

Bb in the bass--D7+5/A#, or x10312--which I find a pain to play.
