(verse)
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.
