Me And The Eagle

• D

INTRO:  D  A  G  D 
 
 
The eagle looked (D) down on the river below (D) 
(D)And he wrapped his wings (A) round him, and he (G) fell like a stone 
And the big salmon (D) fought but the (A) talons held (Bm)true (E) 
(D)And he shuddered as the (A) world turned from (G) silver to blue (D) 
 
 
(D)I stood there in awe though I?d seen it before 
I was born in these (A) mountains, And I?ll (G) die here for sure 
I?ve travelled (D) around I?ve (A) seen city (Bm) lights (E) 
But (D) nothin? that (A) shined like the (G) big sky at (D) night 
 
Some (A) mornings will find me up (D) above the timberline 
(G) Lonesome don?t seem like much (D) once you?re this high 
(D)When it?s all said and done I (A) usually (Bm) find (E) 
(D) Me and the (A) eagle are (G) of the same (D) mind 
 
 
 
Now when I was young I took me a wife 
But she never took to the high country life 
So now I ?m alone I don?t really mind 
But her name echoes down from the canyon sometimes 
 
Rpt. Chorus 
 
In my dreams there?s a horse, He stands eighteen hands high 
He?s as white as the snow and there?s fire in his eyes 
And he?ll bare only me though others have tried 
And together we?ll travel up across the divide 
 
Rpt. Chorus
