The eagle looked down [A] on the river [D] below, and it wrapped its [A] wings around him and it
[D] fell like a [G] stone.
And the big salmon [D]
fought, [A] but the talons held [B] true, [F#] [G#]
[E] [D]
shuddered [A] as the world turned [G] from
[D] silver to blue.
I [A] stood there in [D] awe, though [Gm] I [A] seen it before.
[D]
I was born in [A] these mountains, [G] I'll die here for sure.
[A] I've traveled [D] around,
[A] I've seen city [Bm] lights, [E] [C#m]
[D] but nothing [A] that shine like [D] the big sky at night.
[A] Some mornings I find me [D] up above the timberline, [G] but on some don't seem like [D] much at this time.
When it's [A] all said [D] and done, [A] I usually [Bm] find
[E] [C#m] [D]
me and [A] the eagle [G] are of the [D] same mind.
Now when I was young, [A] I took me a [D] wife, but she never [A] took to [D] the high [A] country life.
[G]
So [A] now [D] I'm alone,
[A] I [D] don't really [Bm] mind.
[G#m]
[E] [A] [D] But her name [A] echoes down from the [G] canyon [D]
sometimes.
[A] Some mornings I find me [D] up above the timberline, [G] but on some don't seem like [D] much at this time.
But [A] when it's all said [D] and done, [A]
I usually [Bm] find [E]
[C#m] [D] me and [A] the eagle [D] are of the same mind.

[D] [Em] In my dreams there's a [D] horse, [A] he stands eighteen [D] hands high.
He's as white [A] as the snow and there's fire in [G] his eyes.
And he'll bear [D] only me, [A] though others [Bm] have tried.
[E]
[A] [D] And together we'll [A]
travel [G] up across [D] the divide.

Some mornings I find us up [D]
