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
E Lately i've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame D AE Just because i've been idle don't mean that i'm tame You've jeopardized my freedom,my natural place to roost DA E I can fly if i have to,if they turn the eagle loose
AE So lay all your doubts aside,when you go to bed tonight AB 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 D A E When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air
