Silver Eagle chords by George Jones

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA                          D MajorD
Well he rides into town on the back of a big silver eagle
E7E7                           A augmentedA
Strapped to his shoulders are the burdens of staying on top
                           D MajorD
And the lines in his face tell the story of an uphill flight
    E7E7                        A augmentedA
You can tell how he feels day by day by the songs that he writes

                           D MajorD
He's loved by millions somehow he's their prisoner as well
   E7E7                       A augmentedA
As he rides down the road in his ten wheeled aluminum cell
                            D MajorD
Now he lives for the day that the eagle will carry him home
      E7E7                        A augmentedA
'Cause the glamour is over nearly all of his seeds have been sown

       D MajorD      E7E7           A augmentedA
Let him go silver eagle there must be a better way to fly
            D MajorD     E7E7
For this great American poet who's singing his songs
                 A augmentedA
About the everyday working man's life

                       D MajorD
One night on the road just south of the Idyho line
    E7E7                         A augmentedA
We were smoking some contracts and attempting to alter our minds
                             D MajorD
Then just before daylight Hank pushed back his hat and he said
     E7E7
"Ah we're puttin too much emphasis on bein' a star
                  A augmentedA
Can't we do a little bit of living instead"

        D MajorD      E7E7           A augmentedA
Let him go silver eagle there must be a better way to fly
            D MajorD     E7E7
For this great American poet who's singing his songs
                 A augmentedA
About the everyday working man's life

       D MajorD      E7E7           A augmentedA
Let him go silver eagle there must be a better way to fly
            D MajorD     E7E7
For this great American poet who's singing his songs
                 A augmentedA
About the everyday working man's life
