INTRO: D A G D
Verse 1
D The eagle looked down on the river below D A G And he wrapped his wings 'round him and he fell like a stone D A Bm E And the big salmon fought but the talons held true D A G D And he shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue
Verse 2
D I stood there in awe though I’d seen it before A G I was born in these mountains, And I’ll die here for sure D A Bm E I’ve travelled around I’ve seen city lights D A G D But nothin’ that shined like the big sky at night
Chorus:
A D Some mornings will find me up above the timberline G D Lonesome don’t seem like much once you’re this high D A Bm E When it’s all said and done I usually find D A G D Me and the eagle are of the same mind
Verse 3
D Now when I was young I took me a wife D A G But she never took to the high country life D A Bm E So now I‘m alone I don’t really mind D A G D But her name echoes down from the canyon sometimes
Chorus:
A D Some mornings will find me up above the timberline G D Lonesome don’t seem like much once you’re this high D A Bm E When it’s all said and done I usually find D A G D Me and the eagle are of the same mind
Verse 4
D In my dreams there’s a horse, He stands eighteen hands high D A G He’s as white as the snow and there’s fire in his eyes D A Bm E And he’ll bare only me though others would try D A G D Together we’ll travel up across the divide
Chorus:
A D Some mornings will find me up above the timberline G D Lonesome don’t seem like much once you’re this high D A Bm E When it’s all said and done I usually find D A G D Me and the eagle are of the same mind
