Eagles and Horses

John Denver & Joe Henry (klr)

Horses are creatures who [Em] worship the [Am] Earth

Galloping on [Em] feet of [C] ivory

Con [F] strained by the wonder of [Am] dying and [F] birth

The [Am] horses still [Em] run, they are [Am] free

My body is merely the [Em] shell of my [Am] soul

But the flesh must be [Em] given it’s [C] due

Like a [F] pony that carries it’s [Am] rider back [F] home

Like an [Am] old friend who’s [Em] tried and been [Am] true

I [C] had a vision of [G] Eagles and Horses

High on a [Am] ridge in a [C6] race with the [G] wind

Going [F] higher and higher, [C] faster and [Am] faster

On [F] Eagles and [Am] Horses, I’m [C6] flying [C] again

2nd time Flying [F] again, I’m flying [C] again

3rd time Flying [F] again, I’m flying [C] again

Flying [F] again, I’m flying [C] again

Eagles inhabit the [Em] heavenly [Am] heights

They know neither [Em] limits or [C] bounds

They’re the [F] guardian angels of [Am] darkness and [F] light

They [Am] see all and [Em] hear every [Am] sound

My spirit will never be [Em] broken or [Am] caught

For the souls a [Em] free flying [C] thing

Like an [F] Eagle that needs neither [Am] comfort nor [F] pause

To [Am] rise up on [Em] glorious [Am] wing

My body is merely the [Em] shell of my [Am] soul

But the flesh must be [Em] given it’s [C] due

Like a [F] pony that carries it’s [Am] master back [F] home

Like an [Am] old friend who’s [Em] tried and been [Am] true

My spirit will never be [Em] broken or [Am] caught

For the souls a [Em] free flying [C] thing

Like an [F] Eagle that needs neither [Am] comfort nor [F] pause

To [Am] rise up on [Em] glorious [Am] wing

Enjoy all
