Steve Earle - Me and the eagle

The eagle looked ^Ddown on the river below A^Dnd he wrapped his wings '^Around him and he f^Gell like a stone And the big salmon f^Dought but the t^Aalons held t^Bmrue ^{E D}And he shuddered as the w^Aorld turned from ^Gsilver to ^Dblue

I stood there in ^Dawe though I’d seen it before I was born in these ^Amountains, And I’ll^G die here for sure I’ve travelled ^Daround I’ve^A seen city l^Bmights ^E But ^Dnothin’ that ^Ashined like the ^Gbig sky at ^Dnight

Some m^Aornings will find me up a^Dbove the timberline ^GLonesome don’t seem like much o^Dnce you’re this high When it’s all said and ^Ddone I ^Ausually fi^Bmnd ^{E D}Me and the ^Aeagle are ^Gof the same ^Dmind

Now when I was ^Dyoung I took me a wife Bu^Dt she never ^Atook to the hi^Ggh country life So now I‘m ^Dalone I ^Adon’t really ^Bmmind ^{E D}But her name echoes ^Adown from the ^Gcanyon somet^Dimes

Some m^Aornings will find me up a^Dbove the timberline ^GLonesome don’t seem like much o^Dnce you’re this high When it’s all said and ^Ddone I usu^Aally ^Bmfind ^{E D}Me and the ^Aeagle are ^Gof the same ^Dmind

In my dreams there’s a^D horse, He stands eighteen hands high ^DHe’s as white as the ^Asnow and there’s ^Gfire in his eyes And he’ll bare only ^Dme though ^Aothers would^Bm try ^{E D}Together we’ll ^Atravel up ^Gacross the ^Ddivide

Some m^Aornings will find me up a^Dbove the timberline ^GLonesome don’t seem like much o^Dnce you’re this high When it’s all said and d^Done I ^Ausually f^Bmind ^{E D}Me and the ^Aeagle are ^Gof the same ^Dmind
