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.

I'm coming out across your borders With new orders for you to take I'd really like to take out your daughter Down by the water, down by the lake BRIDGE: When the cold water's on her skin I can feel how long it's been CHORUS: And the neighbors will all be there And no one will know what to wear So why sit and wait For the new world to begin?
