Verse 1:
EE Piano Chord 

Lord knows i am peaceful when i'm left alone
DD Piano Chord 
           AA Piano Chord 
             EE Piano Chord 

I've always been an eagle,been awhile since i have flown

My claws are sharp as ever,so is my eagle eye
DD Piano Chord 
                   AA Piano Chord 
                     EE Piano Chord 

Somethings gonna go tonight,when the eagle flies

Verse 2:
EE Piano Chord 

Lately i've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame
DD Piano Chord 
         AA Piano Chord 
        EE Piano Chord 

Just because i've been idle don't mean that i'm tame

You've jeopardized my freedom,my natural place to roost
DD Piano Chord 
            AA Piano Chord 
                           EE Piano Chord 

I can fly if i have to,if they turn the eagle loose

Chorus:
AA Piano Chord 
                                              EE Piano Chord 

So lay all your doubts aside,when you go to bed tonight
AA Piano Chord 
                                              BB Piano Chord 

My feathers have been ruffled and i'm ready for a fight
EE Piano Chord 

Just because i took awhile to fly don't mean that i don't care
DD Piano Chord 
                 AA Piano Chord 
                         EE Piano Chord 

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

Chorus.

DD Piano Chord 
                 AA Piano Chord 
                         EE Piano Chord 

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