Verse 1:

E
Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone
     E                           D           A      E
I've always been an eagle, been awhile since I have flown
   E
My claws are sharp as ever, so's my eagle eye
D                 A                            E
Something's gonna go to ground, when the eagle flies

Verse 2:

E
Lately I've heard rumors the eagle may be lame
                            D          A        E
Just because I've been idle don't mean that I'm tame

You've jeopardized my freedom, my natural place to roost
       D         A                                 E
I can fly when I have to, they've turned the eagle loose


Chorus:

    A                                              E
So lay all your doubts aside, when you go to bed tonight
    A                                            B
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
E
Just because I took a while to fly don't mean I don't care
         D                A                           E
When you feel the shadow crossing, the eagle's in the air


Chorus:

    A                                              E
So lay all your doubts aside, when you go to bed tonight
    A                                            B
My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight
E
Just because I took a while to fly don't mean I don't care
         D                A                           E
When you feel the shadow crossing, the eagle's in the air

When you feel the shadow crossing
