[Intro] A E F#m (Muted gallop on F#m) [Verse]
       F#m 
As the sun breaks above the ground

                               A
An old man stands on the hill

       E                                        A
As the ground warms to the first rays of light

  F#m
A birdsong shatters the still
[Pre-chorus]
    F#m       E/G#
His eyes are ablaze

        A             B C#
See the madman in his gaze
[Chorus]
F#m         E           D
Fly on your way like an eagle

           E       F#m
Fly as high as the sun

        E           D
On your way like an eagle

    E          F#m
Fly, touch the sun
[Verse] Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd In the name of God my father I'll fly [Pre-chorus] His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave [Chorus]
F#m         E           D
Fly on your way like an eagle

           E       F#m
Fly as high as the sun

        E           D
On your way like an eagle

    E          F#m
Fly, touch the sun
(Solo) [Chorus]
F#m         E           D
Fly on your way like an eagle

           E       F#m
Fly as high as the sun

        E           D
On your way like an eagle

           E       F#m
Fly as high as the sun

        E           D
On your way like an eagle

   E           F#m
Fly, touch the sun

        E          D
On your way like an eagle

 E
Fly
