Am (8th fret)

[Verse 1]
Am          G
Everybody's jumping
       D      Am
on the circus train
          G    D
Well some jump high
         G    D   Dm
and some jump off again
        Dm
And the razz-ma-tazz
   C        Am   G
is rolling women folk unveiled
           Am
All truths to light
    F     G
all cross his name


     Em
Even high where the eagle circles
      D
Well you can taste
         C
tail feathers team
           Am
But wonders, am I
        D
still a free bird
          G
Or just a part of
    Am
the machine

[Verse 2]

Am
We hitched the covered
G      D        Am
wagons from the rule out west
        G
All the picks in the
D          G      D     Dm
pockets of their sunday best
Dm
Shaking hands,
     C             Am
kissing babies for all of their
G
worth

Oh, they'll promise
    Am    F        G
you gold, Promise everyone an earth

Still that
Em
old bald eagle circles
             D
It's not the first
         C
and that he's seen
       Am
His reflection in
    D
the eyes of innocence

His becoming just
        G           Am
another part of the machine
D           Am
Part of the machine

[Chorus]

F       C
I wish I had
       G
an eagle like you
   F     G
To look up too
   C
He could be my wings
   D        G   D    G
to fly in a big bird sky
   C
Up Above the whole
Em
machine

[Verse 3]
Am    G
Smart guys out
            D         Am
running the whole man tribe
G         D
Up in the mountains
   G      D      Dm
where the eagle  flies
Dm
Wouldn't take that
C         Am   G
job offer on a plate

You got to fly with
    Am        F        G
the eagle and he won't wait


        Em
Looking Down on the smoke on the factories
          D
Until the truth
          C
creeps up unseamed
         Am
They see themselves
                      D
in the faces of their children

And realize they too
                Am
are part of the machine
G           Am
Part of the machine


[Chorus]
F        C
I wish I had
       G
an eagle like you
   F       G
To wake up too
               C
He could be my wings
   D        G   D    G
to fly in a big bird sky
                C
He'll let me be part
        Em
of the  machine
G           Am
Part of the machine,
G           Am       G
part of the machine, part of the
Am
machine
G
Part of your
Am       G            Am
machine, part of your machine.
