WAYLON JENNINGS - THE EAGLE lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:

E

Lord knows i am peaceful when i'm left alone

D A E

I've always been an eagle,been awhile since i have flown

My claws are sharp as ever,so is my eagle eye

D A E

Somethings gonna go tonight,when the eagle flies

Verse 2:

E

Lately i've heard rumors that 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 if i have to,if they turn the eagle loose

Chorus:

A E

So lay all your doubts aside,when you go to bed tonight

A B

My feathers have been ruffled and i'm ready for a fight

E

Just because i took awhile to fly don't mean that i don't care

D A E

When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air

Chorus.

D A E

When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air
