(verse)
          B                     D
Theres an eagle and he keeps on flying 

         A                         E
over the mountains capped in white snow.

         B                        D
In green valleys, lonesome people trying

                     A                          E
so hard to tell each other what they think they know.

            B                           D
With greedy hands they take each others money

        A                     E         
Just to buy back his helpless pains.  (not sure of this last word)



(chorus)

        C#min                    B
In this land of flowing milk and honey

          D       A      E     F#
we wander thirsty in the rain.

D       A      E
Thirsty in the rain.



(verse)
               B                     D
Just like that eagle, now my soul is flying

         A                              E
over the valleys in the crimson morning sky.

          B                          D                 
And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard

          A                           E
and there don't seem to be no reasons why.

            B                           D
Well i must fight you for the rich mans money

         A                     E  
so I can buy back his helpless pains.  (not sure here either)



(chorus)
   
         C#min               B
Seems so useless and somehow funny,

      D       A      E     F#
to be thirsty in the rain.

D       A      E
Thirsty in the rain.

(verse)

          B                     D
Fare thee well, now my own true lover,

                 A               E
my face you will never see it no more.

          B                      D          
But there is one promise that is given

                     A                    E
that I will meet you on that shiny golden shore.

       B                     D
Golden shore, love where the eagle soars

   A                       E
so high above the fruitful plain.



(chorus)

        C#min                B
I'm the same friend that you knew when

            D       A      E      F#
we wandered thristy in the rain.

D       A      E      F#
Thirsty in the rain.

D       A      E     F#
Thirsty in the rain.

D       A      E
Thirsty in the rain.
