If you've never tuned down to 'D Standard' before, this video will get you started:
Simply listen and twiddle as it goes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVMuojEWo_w
Strumming pattern and exact timings of the sus4 hammer-ons etc.

Take off, little winged creature
G7 G7sus4
It's nothing but teens in ravines
C9 F Fsus4 F
And antics on concrete down here
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
And are you really as free as all the great songs would have me believe?
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
Let me tell you why some day, Birdie, you're gonna envy me
A#7 A#dim Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Some dream of a world written in lines of code
G7 G7sus4 C9
Well, I hope they engineer out politics, romance, and edifice
F Fsus4 F
Two outta three ain't bad
A#7 A#dim Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Some envision a state governed by laws of business
G7 G7sus4 C9
Merger and acquisition instead of violence or nations
F Fsus4 F
Where do I sign up?
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
Take off, little winged creature
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
It's nothing but falling debris, strollers, and babies down here
G7 G7sus4 C9 F Fsus4 F
And you may be up in the sky but our paradigms are just as deep and just as wide
G7 G7sus4 C9
What with all our best attempts at transcendence
F Fsus4 F
Something's bound to take
A#7 A#dim Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Soon, we'll live in a global culture devoid of gender or race

There's just one tiny line:

You're either born behind

Or you're free to peek inside
A#7 A#dim Cm Cm/A# F Fsus4 F
Life as just narrative, metadata in aggregate
G7 G7sus4 C9
Where the enigma of humanity's wrapped up finally
F Fsus4 F
That as they say is that

Oh, that day can't come soon enough
