Eagles and Horses
John Denver & Joe Henry (klr)

 AmEmAm
  Horses are creatures who  worship the  Earth
 EmC
Galloping on  feet of  ivory
 FAmF
Con  strained by the wonder of  dying and  birth
 AmEmAm
The  horses still  run, they are  free

 EmAm
My body is merely the  shell of my  soul
 EmC
But the flesh must be  given it?s  due
 FAmF
Like a  pony that carries it?s  rider back  home
 AmEmAm
Like an  old friend who?s  tried and been  true

chorus:
 CG
I   had a vision of  Eagles and Horses
 FAmC6G
  High on a  ridge in a  race with the  wind
 FCAm
Going  higher and higher,  faster and  faster
 FAmC6C
On  Eagles and  Horses, I?m  flying  again
 FC
  2nd time     Flying  again, I?m flying  again
 FC
  3rd time     Flying   again, I?m flying  again
 FC
                  Flying  again, I?m flying  again

 AmEmAm
  Eagles inhabit the  heavenly  heights
 EmC
They know neither  limits or  bounds
 FAmF
They?re the  guardian angels of  darkness and  light
 AmEmAm
They  see all and  hear every  sound

 EmAm
My spirit will never be  broken or  caught
 EmC
For the souls a  free flying  thing
 FAmF
Like an  Eagle that needs neither  comfort nor  pause
 AmEmAm
To  rise up on  glorious  wing

chorus:

 AmEmAm
  My body is merely the  shell of my  soul
 EmC
But the flesh must be  given it?s  due
 FAmF
Like a  pony that carries it?s  master back  home
 AmEmAm
Like an  old friend who?s  tried and been  true

 EmAm
My spirit will never be  broken or  caught
 EmC
For the souls a  free flying  thing
 FAmF
Like an  Eagle that needs neither  comfort nor  pause
 AmEmAm
To  rise up on  glorious  wing

chorus:

Enjoy all
