VERSE 1
A         G                               A            G
In a while I'll find the time to make the sunshine mine
A         G                     A          G?
In a smile I saw a single eagle in the sky
A         G        A         G?
Wheeling, soaring, gliding by

VERSE 2
A        G                              A            G?
On a hill there lived a man with many shining things
A          G                     A            G?
Shiny pool, shiny car and shiny diamond rings
A       G       A           G?
Wining, dining, shining king

?And the eagle flies in clear blue skies
C                           Am   Am9  Am?
Breathing in the clear blue air
Dm                       Bb
?Back here on the ground another dealer coughs and dies
    G?
And fifty more come rolling off
    A
?The Ford production line

VERSE 3
A         G                        A          G
?Then a man appearing like a mirage on the sand
A          G                        A             G
?In his hand a moving picture of the crumbling land
A          G        A        G
?Screaming, dealing, groovy man

VERSE 4
A         G                           A               G?
Here we go, hold your nose and see if something blows
A               G                         A           G?
Close your eyes, count to ten and see the sunrise rise
A         G      A              A?
Climbing, crying through the sky

BRIDGE
D                 F?
By the ornamental lake a diamond lies
C                      Am    Am9  Am?
Upon the finger of the king?
Dm                           Bb
On high, the eagle spies the glitter of a gun
     G                              A?
Then wheeling in a climbing turn he flies into the sun
