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