D                     F
Theres an eagle and he keeps on flying 

         C                         G
over the mountains capped in white snow.

         D                        F
In green valleys, lonesome people trying

                     C                          G
so hard to tell each other what they think they know.

            D                           F
With greedy hands they take each others money

        C                      G         
Just to buy back this helpless place



(chorus)

        Em                       G
In this land of flowing milk and honey

          F       C      G     A
we wander thirsty in the rain.

F       C      G
Thirsty in the rain.



(verse)
               D                     F
Just like that eagle, now my soul is flying

         C                              G
over the valleys in the crimson morning sky.

          D                          F                 
And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard

          C                           G
and there don't seem to be no reasons why.

            D                           F
Well i must fight you for the rich mans money

         C                     G  
so I can buy back his helpless place.



(chorus)
   
         Em                  G
Seems so useless and somehow funny,

      F       C      G       A
to be thirsty in the rain.

F       C      G
Thirsty in the rain.




(verse)

          D                     F
Fare thee well, now my own true lover,

                 C               G
my face you will never see it no more.

          D                      F          
But there is one promise that is given

                     C               G
that I will meet you on God's golden shore.

       D                     F
Golden shore, love where the eagle soars

   C                       G
so high above the fruitful plain.



(chorus)

        Em                   G
I'm the same friend that you knew when

            F       C      G      A
we wandered thirsty in the rain.

F       C      G      A
Thirsty in the rain.

F       C      G      A
Thirsty in the rain.
F       C      G
Thirsty in the rain.
