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

chorus:
        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       Am      C6      C
On       Eagles and      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
