The Eagle

Waylon Jennings


Tom: E

         E
        Lord knows i am peaceful when i'm left alone
                                   D           A             E
        I've always been an eagle,been awhile since i have flown

        My claws are sharp as ever,so is my eagle eye
          D                   A                     E
        Somethings gonna go tonight,when the eagle flies


Verse 2:
         E
        Lately i've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame
                                      D         A        E
        Just because i've been idle don't mean that i'm tame

        You've jeopardized my freedom,my natural place to roost
               D            A                           E
        I can fly if i have to,if they turn the eagle loose


Chorus:
            A                                              E
        So lay all your doubts aside,when you go to bed tonight
             A                                              B
        My feathers have been ruffled and i'm ready for a fight
              E
        Just because i took awhile to fly don't mean that i don't care
                  D                 A                         E
        When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air


Chorus.

                  D                 A                         E
        When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air
