Verse 1:
         G
	Lord knows i am peaceful when i'm left alone
                                   F           C             G
	I've always been an eagle,been awhile since i have flown

	My claws are sharp as ever,so is my eagle eye
          F                   C                     G
	Somethings gonna go tonight,when the eagle flies


Verse 2:
         G
	Lately i've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame
                                      F         C        G
	Just because i've been idle don't mean that i'm tame

	You've jeopardized my freedom,my natural place to roost
               F            C                           G
	I can fly if i have to,if they turn the eagle loose


Chorus:
            C                                              G
	So lay all your doubts aside,when you go to bed tonight
             C                                              D
	My feathers have been ruffled and i'm ready for a fight
              G
	Just because i took awhile to fly don't mean that i don't care
                  F                 C                         G
	When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air


Chorus.

	          F                 C                         G
	When you feel the shadow crossing,the eagle's in the air
