_ _ Horses are [B] creatures who worship [Am] the earth.
_ They [Em] gallop on feet of [C]
ivory.
_ _ Constrained by the wonder of [F] dying and birth.
_ [Am] The horses [Em] still run, [Am] they are free. _ _ _
_ _ My body is [G] merely the shell [Am] of my soul.
But the flesh [G] must be given [C] its due.
_ [F] Like a pony that carries its rider back home. _ _
[Am] Like an old [Em] friend that's tried [Am] to improve. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
These [G] little vehicles and horses, [F] high [Dm] on the hill,
[Am] can race [G] the wind. _ _ _
_ _ [F] Going higher and higher, [C]
faster [Am] and faster,
[F] are eagles [Am] and horses, are [C] flying again. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ Eagles inhabit [Bm] the heavenly [Am]
heights.
_ They know [Bm] neither limits [C] nor _ bounds.
[F] They're the guardian angels of darkness and light.
_ _ [Am] They see [Em] all and hear [Am] every sound. _ _
_ _ My spirit will never be [Em]
broken [Am] nor apart.
For the soul [Bm] is a free [G]-flying thing.
[F] Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor a spot. _ _
[Am] Her eyes are [Em] open for a [Am] swing. _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [C] I have a vision [G] of eagles and horses,
[F] high on [Dm] the hill, can [Am] race the [G] wind. _ _ _
_ Going [F] higher and higher, [C]
faster [Am] and faster,
[F] are eagles [Am] and horses, [C] are flying _ _ _ again. _
Flying _ _ _ _ again.
[G] Are flying [C] _ _ again. _ _ _

[A] My body is merely [Em] the shell of [A] my soul.
_ _ _ _ But the flesh [Bm] must be given its [G] due.
[F] Like a pony that carries its master back home. _
_ Like an [Am] old friend who's [Em] tried [Am] and been through.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] [E] My spirit will never be broken [Am] nor caught. _ _
_ _ For the soul is [Bm] a free-flying [C] _ thing. _ _ _
[F] Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor a spot.
_ _ _ [Am] Her eyes are open for a swing.
