    Eagles And Horses

Am                       Em          Am
Horses are creatures who worship the Earth 
             Em      C
Galloping on feet of ivory
    F                         Am        F 
Con strained by the wonder of dying and birth
    Am           Em            Am 
The horses still run, they are free 
                      Em          Am
My body is merely the shell of my soul
                      Em         C 
But the flesh must be given it?s due
       F                      Am         F 
Like a pony that carries it?s rider back home
        Am               Em             Am 
Like an old friend who?s tried and been true 
   C               G
I  had a vision of Eagles and Horses
F         Am         C6            G 
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
      F                  C          Am
Going higher and higher, faster and faster
   F                         C6     C
On Eagles and Am Horses, I?m flying again
                      F                 C 
  2nd time     Flying again, I?m flying again
                       F                 C 
  3rd time     Flying  again, I?m flying again
                         F                 C 
                  Flying again, I?m flying again  
Am                 Em       Am
Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights
                  Em        C 
They know neither limits or bounds
            F                  Am           F 
They?re the guardian angels of darkness and light
     Am          Em         Am 
They see all and hear every sound 
                        Em        Am
My spirit will never be broken or caught
                Em          C 
For the souls a free flying thing 
        F                        Am          F
Like an Eagle that needs neither comfort nor pause
   Am         Em       Am 
To rise up on glorious wing 
 
Chorus: 
Am                    Em          Am
My body is merely the shell of my soul
                      Em         C 
But the flesh must be given it?s due
       F                      Am          F 
Like a pony that carries it?s master back home
        Am               Em             Am 
Like an old friend who?s tried and been true 
                        Em        Am
My spirit will never be broken or caught
                Em          C 
For the souls a free flying thing
        F                        Am          F 
Like an Eagle that needs neither comfort nor pause 
   Am         Em       Am
To rise up on glorious wing
