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
