(verse)
          B (x2444x@1)                   DTheres (xx0232@1)an eagle and he keeps on flying

A (x02220@1)                       Eover (022100@1)the mountains capped in white snow.

B (x2444x@1)                      DIn (xx0232@1)green valleys, lonesome people trying

A (x02220@1)                        Eso (022100@1)hard to tell each other what they think they know.

B (x2444x@1)                         DWith (xx0232@1)greedy hands they take each others money

A (x02220@1)                   E (022100@1)       
Just to buy back his helpless pains.  (not sure of this last word)

               B (x2444x@1)                   DJust (xx0232@1)like that eagle, now my soul is flying

A (x02220@1)                            Eover (022100@1)the valleys in the crimson morning sky.

B (x2444x@1)                        D (xx0232@1)               
And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard

A (x02220@1)                         Eand (022100@1)there don't seem to be no reasons why.

B (x2444x@1)                         DWell (xx0232@1)i must fight you for the rich mans money

A (x02220@1)                   E (022100@1)
so I can buy back his helpless pains.  (not sure here either)



(chorus)
   
         C#min               BSeems (x2444x@1)so useless and somehow funny,

D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)    E (022100@1)   F#to (244322@1)be thirsty in the rain.

D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)    EThirsty (022100@1)in the rain.
