INTRO: D MajorD A augmentedA G+G D MajorD

Verse 1
         D MajorD
The eagle looked down on the river below
 D MajorD            A augmentedA         G+G
And he wrapped his wings 'round him and he fell like a stone
          D MajorD       A augmentedA      B minorBm  E MajorE
And the big salmon fought but the talons held true
D MajorD            A augmentedA        G+G     D MajorD
And he shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue


Verse 2
         D MajorD
I stood there in awe though I?d seen it before
          A augmentedA         G+G
I was born in these mountains, And I?ll die here for sure
       D MajorD      A augmentedA     B minorBm   E MajorE
I?ve travelled around I?ve seen city lights
  D MajorD      A augmentedA        G+G     D MajorD
But nothin? that shined like the big sky at night

Chorus:
   A augmentedA            D MajorD
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
G+G               D MajorD
Lonesome don?t seem like much once you?re this high
            D MajorD       A augmentedA  B minorBm  E MajorE
When it?s all said and done I usually find
D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G      D MajorD
Me and the eagle are of the same mind


Verse 3
        D MajorD
Now when I was young I took me a wife
 D MajorD            A augmentedA       G+G
But she never took to the high country life
      D MajorD    A augmentedA      B minorBm  E MajorE
So now I?m alone I don?t really mind
D MajorD          A augmentedA       G+G      D MajorD
But her name echoes down from the canyon sometimes


Chorus:
   A augmentedA            D MajorD
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
G+G               D MajorD
Lonesome don?t seem like much once you?re this high
            D MajorD     A augmentedA  B minorBm  E MajorE
When it?s all said and done I usually find
D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G      D MajorD
Me and the eagle are of the same mind

Verse 4
           D MajorD
In my dreams there?s a horse, He stands eighteen hands high
D MajorD          A augmentedA        G+G
He?s as white as the snow and there?s fire in his eyes
          D MajorD     A augmentedA      B minorBm  E MajorE
And he?ll bare only me though others would try
D MajorD         A augmentedA     G+G      D MajorD
Together we?ll travel up across the divide


 Chorus:
   A augmentedA            D MajorD
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
G+G               D MajorD
Lonesome don?t seem like much once you?re this high
            D MajorD   A augmentedA    B minorBm E MajorE
When it?s all said and done I usually find
D MajorD     A augmentedA     G+G      D MajorD
