	D
	I am the eagle, I live in high country,

	C
in rocky cathedrals that reach to the s	ky.

	D
	I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers,

	C
but time is still turning, they soon will be d	ry.

	D
And a	ll those who see me, and all who believe in me,

	F	E	A
share in the freedom I feel when I f	ly.

	D	D/C	G/B	A
Come da	nce with the	west wind and t	ouch on the m	ountain tops.

	D	Bm	G	A
S	ail o'er the	canyons and	up to the st	ars.

	D	D/C	G/B	D
Re	ach for the	heavens and	hope for the f	uture

	D/C	G/B	Em	A
and	all that we	can be and	not we a	re.

(Outro)

E(8) E(6) E(4) E(2) E (as per the intro)

(Note 1)

The chords in the intro are the E shape played at various positions on the fretboard as

I have named them E plus a number the number marks the fret that your first finger is on.

E(8) E(6) E(4) E(2) E

1 E  --0----0----0----0----0--|
2 B  --0----0----0----0----0--|
3 G  --8----6----4----2----1--|
4 D  --9----7----5----3----2--|
5 A  --9----7----5----3----2--|
6 E  --0----0----0----0----0--|

(Note 2)

The song is 3/4 time but in the second half of the intro the arrangement has a 6/8 feel.

For a solo guitar you can get the feel of these two rhythms like this:

Standard 3/4 time one stress on the first beat of each bar.

< <

   |-1-2-3-4-5-6-|-1-2-3-4-5-6-|

D D U D U D U D U D U

6/8 feel stress on the 1st and 4th half beats of the bar. I've suggested 2 strumming

The 1st is harder because you have to create the rhythm by volume on the upstroke at

4th half beat - it's easy to drift back into a 3/4 count. The 2nd strum is a little

It creates the emphasis by missing out the downstroke on the 3rd beat. If you're not

start with this strum and add the downstroke in as you improve.
