Update by Eric Sievers

After the first couple parts shown above, play these chords...

  Bb C Gm7     Bb C Gm7     Bb C Gm7

Then it does something weird in Am7 for a few measures, then to the lyrics..


  Go if you want to walk where you will
  The hallways will always be there

  You're barely content if your belly is full
  Shifting and drifting to sleep where you can

  You're slowly arriving but never on time
  You strain to explain all the strange cares

  A struggle to stand afraid if you try
  Pleading and bleeding you change what you can


Play this 3 times...

     Dm            Bb                    a          E           C#m         D
  E--------0h1-0------------------------------------0-----4-5-7-----4h5-4-----|

            a            E           Bm7   Gmaj7/C ??

  G--------------4-2-4-----4-2\1-2-------2-----0---|
  D------------------------------------4-----4-----|
  A----------------------------------2-----3-------|
  E------------------------------------------------|

The last time it ends like this, leading into the jam...
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/u/umphreys_mcgee/hunt_bird_bath_tab.html ]
  E-------------------------------------------------------------------|
  B-------------3-----------1-----------3-----------1-----------3-----|
  G-----2-----0---0-------3---3-------0---0-------3---3-------0---0---|
  D---4-----4-------4---3-------3---4-------4---3-------3---4-------4-| etc...
  A-2-----3-----------------------------------------------------------|
  E-------------------------------------------------------------------|

The chords are something like this...

    Gmaj7 Gm7
  E----------|
  B-3-----3--|
  G-0-----3--|
  D-4-----3--|
  A----------|
  E-3-----3--|

The jam is based on various combinations of the arpeggio
above, the Gmaj7 amd Gm7, and these 2 riffs...

  E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
  B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
  G-----4p0---4p0---4p0---4p0---4p0-----3p0---3p0---3p0---3p0---3p0-|

  G-----4p0---7p0---4p0---7p0---4-------3p0---7p0---3p0---7p0---3--|
  D-5-------5-----5-----5-----5-----5-------5-----5-----5-----5----|
  A----------------------------------------------------------------|
  E----------------------------------------------------------------|

After rockin out a while, do this...

  E-8-6-5-6---5---5------------------------8-6-5-6---5---5----------------------|
  B-------------8--------/10-8\6-8---------------------8--------/10-8\6-8-------|
  G--------------------------------7--------------------------------------------|

  B-10-8----8--------------------------------10-8----8-----------------------------|
  G------10-----10-9-10------9-7----7-------------10-----10-9-10-------------------|
  D------------------------------10-----------------------------------10-8-10-b12--|
  A-----------------------------------8--------------------------------------------|
  E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Then jam more, then the above line some more, then this...

  E-8-6-5-6---5---5-------------------------------------------------|
  B-------------8-----8-6-8---6-5-6---5---5-------------------------|
  G-------------------------------------7-----7-5-7---5-3-5---3-2-3-|
  D-----------------------------------------------------------------|
  A-----------------------------------------------------------------|
  E-----------------------------------------------------------------|

Play this 4 times... (Not sure about the first 2 chords, but it's close)

  G-7------8-------------3-----------------7------8-------------2--|
  D-7------8-------------3-----------------7------8-------------2--|
