theres an eagle and he keeps on flying
A E
over the mountains capped in white snow .
B D
in green valleys , lonesome people trying
A E
so hard to tell each other what they think they know .
B D
with greedy hands they take each others money
A E
just to buy back his helpless pains . ( not sure of this last word )
( chorus )
c#min B
in this land of flowing milk and honey
D A E F#
we wander thirsty in the rain .
D A E
thirsty in the rain .
( verse )
B D
just like that eagle , now my soul is flying
A E
over the valleys in the crimson morning sky .
B D
and there don’t seem to be no use in struggling so hard
A E
and there don’t seem to be no reasons why .
B D
well i must fight you for the rich mans money
A E
so i can buy back his helpless pains . ( not sure here either )
