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.

Down by the water, down by the lake
