New World chords by Soul Asylum

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.
