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
