(verse)
          B                     D
Theres an eagle and he keeps on flying

A                         E
over the mountains capped in white snow.

B                        D
In green valleys, lonesome people trying

A                          E
so hard to tell each other what they think they know.

B                           D
With greedy hands they take each others money

A                     E
Just to buy back his helpless pains.  (not sure of this last word)



(chorus)

C#min                    B
In this land of flowing milk and honey

D       A      E     F#
we wander thirsty in the rain.

D       A      E
Thirsty in the rain.



(verse)
               B                     D
Just like that eagle, now my soul is flying

A                              E
over the valleys in the crimson morning sky.

B                          D
And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard

A                           E
and there don't seem to be no reasons why.

B                           D
Well i must fight you for the rich mans money

A                     E
so I can buy back his helpless pains.  (not sure here either)



(chorus)

         C#min               B
Seems so useless and somehow funny,

D       A      E     F#
to be thirsty in the rain.

D       A      E
Thirsty in the rain.

(verse)

B                     D
Fare thee well, now my own true lover,

A               E
my face you will never see it no more.

B                      D
But there is one promise that is given

A                    E
that I will meet you on that shiny golden shore.

B                     D
Golden shore, love where the eagle soars

A                       E
so high above the fruitful plain.



(chorus)

C#min                B
I'm the same friend that you knew when

D       A      E      F#
we wandered thristy in the rain.

D       A      E      F#
Thirsty in the rain.

D       A      E     F#
Thirsty in the rain.

D       A      E
Thirsty in the rain.
