John Anderson - Occasional Eagle


D MajorD            G+G    E minorEm
High o'er the coast of Alaska he flies
A augmentedA        F#F#     B minorBm     F# minorF#m
Wide 'cross the prairies he covers the skies
 G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD     G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
A augmentedA picture of courage and beauty, a symbol of freedom and right
G+G     A augmentedA        D MajorD
Riding the winds through the mountains
G+G     G/F#     E minorEm    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Guided by nature, an occasional eagle in flight

When the shore ice is melting in Kodiak Bay
Knowing that Spring is well on its way
He calls to his mate of a lifetime, to a yearly nest in the thorn
Planting the egg in the branches
With God's assistance, an occasional is born


Chorus:
    A augmentedA  G+G         D MajorD
And he fli-i-es, covering the land
A augmentedA      F#F#       B minorBm   F# minorF#m    G+G  E minorEm
Stirring the hearts through all generations of man
 G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD     G+G     A augmentedA      D MajorD
A augmentedA picture of courage and beauty, a symbol of freedom and right
G+G     A augmentedA        D MajorD
Riding the wind through the mountains
G+G     G/F#     E minorEm   A augmentedA    D MajorD
Guided by nature, an occasional eagle in flight


Instrumental:


When I was younger and without a care
For granted I thought he would always be there
But now I only hear stories that the great bird of truth is alive
With a fist in my pocket I'm prayin'
An eternal prayer that the great bird of truth will survive


Chorus:
And he fli-i-es, covering the land
Stirring the hearts through all generations of man
Poets tell of his bearing, truth on a feathery wind.
Painters paint from inspiration.
