    Eagles And Horses

A5                       E5          A5
Horses are creatures who worship the Earth 
             E5      C5
Galloping on feet of ivory
    F5                         A5        F5 
Con strained by the wonder of dying and birth
    A5           E5            A5 
The horses still run, they are free 
                      E5          A5
My body is merely the shell of my soul
                      E5         C5 
But the flesh must be given it?s due
       F5                      A5         F5 
Like a pony that carries it?s rider back home
        A5               E5             A5 
Like an old friend who?s tried and been true 
   C5               G5
I  had a vision of Eagles and Horses
F5         A5         C5            G5 
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
      F5                  C5          A5
Going higher and higher, faster and faster
   F5                         C5     C5
On Eagles and Am Horses, I?m flying again
                      F5                 C5 
  2nd time     Flying again, I?m flying again
                       F5                 C5 
  3rd time     Flying  again, I?m flying again
                         F5                 C5 
                  Flying again, I?m flying again  
A5                 E5       A5
Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights
                  E5        C5 
They know neither limits or bounds
            F5                  A5           F5 
They?re the guardian angels of darkness and light
     A5          E5         A5 
They see all and hear every sound 
                        E5        A5
My spirit will never be broken or caught
                E5          C5 
For the souls a free flying thing 
        F5                        A5          F5
Like an Eagle that needs neither comfort nor pause
   A5         E5       A5 
To rise up on glorious wing 
 
Chorus: 
A5                    E5          A5

                      E5         C5 
But the flesh must be given it?s due
       F5                      A5          F5 
Like a pony that carries it?s master back home
        A5               E5             A5 
Like an old friend who?s tried and been true 
                        E5        A5
My spirit will never be broken or caught
                E5          C5 
For the souls a free flying thing
        F5                        A5          F5
