INTRO: D A G D
Verse 1
D
The eagle looked down on the river below
D A G
And he wrapped his wings 'round him and he fell like a stone
D A Bm E
And the big salmon fought but the talons held true
D A G D
And he shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue
Verse 2
D
I stood there in awe though I’d seen it before
A G
I was born in these mountains, And I’ll die here for sure
D A Bm E
I’ve travelled around I’ve seen city lights
D A G D
But nothin’ that shined like the big sky at night
Chorus:
A D
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
G D
Lonesome don’t seem like much once you’re this high
D A Bm E
When it’s all said and done I usually find
D A G D
Me and the eagle are of the same mind
Verse 3
D
Now when I was young I took me a wife
D A G
But she never took to the high country life
D A Bm E
So now I‘m alone I don’t really mind
D A G D
But her name echoes down from the canyon sometimes
Chorus:
A D
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
G D
Lonesome don’t seem like much once you’re this high
D A Bm E
When it’s all said and done I usually find
D A G D
Me and the eagle are of the same mind
Verse 4
D
In my dreams there’s a horse, He stands eighteen hands high
D A G
He’s as white as the snow and there’s fire in his eyes
D A Bm E
And he’ll bare only me though others would try
D A G D
Together we’ll travel up across the divide
Chorus:
A D
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
G D
Lonesome don’t seem like much once you’re this high
D A Bm E
When it’s all said and done I usually find
D A G D
Me and the eagle are of the same mind
