BB D MajorD
Theres an eagle and he keeps on flying
A augmentedA E MajorE
over the mountains capped in white snow.
BB D MajorD
In green valleys, lonesome people trying
A augmentedA E MajorE
so hard to tell each other what they think they know.
BB D MajorD
With greedy hands they take each others money
A augmentedA E MajorE
Just to buy back his helpless pains. (not sure of this last word)
(chorus)
C#min BB
In this land of flowing milk and honey
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE F#F#
we wander thirsty in the rain.
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Thirsty in the rain.
(verse)
BB D MajorD
Just like that eagle, now my soul is flying
A augmentedA E MajorE
over the valleys in the crimson morning sky.
BB D MajorD
And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard
A augmentedA E MajorE
and there don't seem to be no reasons why.
BB D MajorD
Well i must fight you for the rich mans money
A augmentedA E MajorE
so I can buy back his helpless pains. (not sure here either)

to be thirsty in the rain.

But there is one promise that is given

Golden shore, love where the eagle soars
A augmentedA E MajorE
so high above the fruitful plain.

I'm the same friend that you knew when
