OK. well. I think I got it cased. 'Do' is the musical note 'Do' which translates to a 'C' chord(this is how french and spanish people read music apparantly). G7+ is like a Bm with a G bass note and you mute out the open A string. tabbed out would look like 3x443x. A4 should be Asus4 x02200.
I also figured out the little intro part. I am not going to take the time to tab it out but the extra little chords are xx0353. xxxx87, xxx775. So play the first 3 notes of your D chord then the xx0353. Then the first 3 notes of D again and xxxx87 followed by xxx775.
Sounds real nice when you put it all together and I hope this will help anyone else to play this beautiful tune.

It’s G7 +5. I guess it’s just nomenclature but it’s the same in the end.
