Silver Eagle

A                                 
Well he rides into town on the 
                  D
back of a big silver eagle
E7                                
Strapped to his shoulders are the 
                      A
burdens of staying on top
And the lines in his face tell the 
                   D
story of an uphill flight
        E7                         
You can tell how he feels day by 
                       A
day by the songs that he writes

He's loved by millions somehow he's 
                  D
their prisoner as well
      E7                           
As he rides down the road in his 
                   A
ten wheeled aluminum cell
Now he lives for the day that the 
                     D
eagle will carry him home
           E7                    
'Cause the glamour is over nearly 
                            A
all of his seeds have been sown

Let him go silver eagle there must
                A
 be a better way to fly

One night on the road just south of 
          D
the Idyho line
        E7                      
We were smoking some comtrex and 
                         A
attempting to alter our minds
Then just before daylight Hag pushed
                      D
 back his hat and he said
          E7
"Ah we're puttin too much emphasis 
on bein' a star
Can't we do a little bit of living 
A
instead"

               D           E7     
Let him go silver eagle there must
