View chords used in this chart
Am Horses are creatures who Em worship the Am Earth
Galloping on Em feet of C ivory
Con F strained by the wonder of Am dying and F birth
The Am horses still Em run, they are Am free
My body is merely the Em shell of my Am soul
But the flesh must be Em given it´s C due
Like a F pony that carries it´s Am rider back F home
Like an Am old friend who´s Em tried and been Am true
[Refrão]I C had a vision of G Eagles and Horses
F High on a Am ridge in a C6 race with the G wind
Going F higher and higher, C faster and Am faster
On F Eagles and Am Horses, I´m C6 flying C again
2nd time Flying F again, I´m flying C again
3rd time Flying F again, I´m flying C again
Flying F again, I´m flying C again
Am Eagles inhabit the Em heavenly Am heights
They know neither Em limits or C bounds
They´re the F guardian angels of Am darkness and F light
They Am see all and Em hear every Am sound
My spirit will never be Em broken or Am caught
For the souls a Em free flying C thing
Like an F Eagle that needs neither Am comfort nor F pause
To Am rise up on Em glorious Am wing
Chorus:
Am My body is merely the Em shell of my Am soul
But the flesh must be Em given it´s C due
Like a F pony that carries it´s Am master back F home
Like an Am old friend who´s Em tried and been Am true
My spirit will never be Em broken or Am caught
For the souls a Em free flying C thing
Like an F Eagle that needs neither Am comfort nor F pause
To Am rise up on Em glorious Am wing
