      It seems Brian's guitar is tuned in an alternate tuning. All the chords below are in standard tuning. I'll see about writing another version of this in the new tuning as I get time.

      C (3-3-5-5-5-3)
      B (2-2-4-4-4-2)
      Gmaj7 (3-5-4-4-3-3)
      Em (7-7-9-9-8-7)
      F#m (9-9-11-11-10-9)
      D (5-5-7-7-7-5-5)
      E (7-7-9-9-9-7)
      F (1-3-3-2-1-1)
      G (3-5-5-4-3-3)

      Main Lick 4x (All over a D chord)

      p = pull of
      e|-------------------------------------------------------|
      B|-------------------------------------------------------|
      G|-------------------------------------------------------|
      D|-------------------------------------------------------|
      A|--7p5-5---9p7-7---12p9-9---9p7-7---7p5-5-5---7p5-5-0---|
      E|-------------------------------------------------------|
      

      C B Gmaj7

      Verse 1 - Main guitar lick and all over a D chord
      To the beach
      To the party
      To the nest after starting
      With our feet
      With our feathers
      With our storms to calm the weather

      Chorus

      Em        F#m     Em         D     D E D
      Two birds stroll against the sand
      Em      F#m               Em           D    D E D
      Pecking through trash and scanning the land
      Em             F#m           Em         D      D E D
      Convinced with time they’ll soar like lemmings
      Em   F#m          Em            D     
      In   time they’ll float to old hens(?)
      

      Main Lick 4x

      C B Gmaj7

      Verse 2 - Main guitar lick and all over a D chord
      Flip the sky
      Flip the sunset
      Flip the deck have we won yet
      Dive to see
      Dive to borders
      Dive through time tried to warn her

      Chorus

      C                 B                      Gmaj7                             
      Out walking again   these wings we won’t need them
      C                     B                     F               G      
      We’ll be running with nothing against these things we don’t need them 
      C                 B                       Gmaj7                                        
      Out walking again    these wings we won’t need them
      C                     B                     F               G    Gmaj7      
      We’ll be running with nothing against these things we don’t need them
               D
      We’ll be breathing 
      

      The melodic jam is basically all over a D chord. I’ll play major and mixolydian scales over it for fun.
