This is close but I don't think it's perfect yet 
 
 
D5                        G5       E5 
High o'er the coast of Alaska he flies 
A5               F#5          B5         F#5  
Wide 'cross the prairies he covers the skies 
  G5          A5           D5         G5         A5           D5  
A picture of courage and beauty, a symbol of freedom and right  
G5          A5                D5 
Riding the winds through the mountains 
G5         G5         E5       A5        D5 
Guided by nature, an occasional eagle in flight 
 
When the shore ice is melting in Kodiak Bay 

Knowing that Spring is well on its way 

He calls to his mate of a lifetime, to a yearly nest in the thorn  

Planting the egg in the branches 

With God's assistance, an occasional is born 
 
Chorus  
       A5   G5                  D5  
And he fli-i-es, covering the land  
A5            F#5             B5      F#5        G5    E5                 
Stirring the hearts through all generations of man  
  G5          A5           D5         G5         A5           D5 
A picture of courage and beauty, a symbol of freedom and right  
G5          A5                D5 
Riding the wind through the mountains  
G5         G5          E5      A5        D5 
Guided by nature, an occasional eagle in flight

When I was younger and without a care 
For granted I thought he would always be there  
But now I only hear stories that the great bird of truth is alive  
With a fist in my pocket I'm prayin'  
An eternal prayer that the great bird of truth will survive  
 
Chorus 
And he fli-i-es, covering the land  
Stirring the hearts through all generations of man  
Poets tell of his bearing, truth on a feathery wind. 
Painters paint from inspiration. 
A beautiful picture that only a memory can bring
