(verse)
B D
Theres an eagle and he keeps on flying
A E
over the mountains capped in white snow.
B D
In green valleys, lonesome people trying
A E
so hard to tell each other what they think they know.
B D
With greedy hands they take each others money
A E
Just to buy back his helpless pains. (not sure of this last word)
(chorus)
C#min B
In this land of flowing milk and honey
D A E F#
we wander thirsty in the rain.
D A E
Thirsty in the rain.
(verse)
B D
Just like that eagle, now my soul is flying
A E
over the valleys in the crimson morning sky.
B D
And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard
A E
and there don't seem to be no reasons why.
B D
Well i must fight you for the rich mans money
A E
so I can buy back his helpless pains. (not sure here either)
(chorus)
C#min B
Seems so useless and somehow funny,
D A E F#
to be thirsty in the rain.
D A E
Thirsty in the rain.
(mandolin break = verse chords)
(1 chorus, no words)
(verse)
B D
Fare thee well, now my own true lover,
A E
my face you will never see it no more.
B D
But there is one promise that is given
A E
that I will meet you on that shiny golden shore.
B D
Golden shore, love where the eagle soars
A E
so high above the fruitful plain.
(chorus)
C#min B
I'm the same friend that you knew when
D A E F#
we wandered thristy in the rain.
D A E F#
Thirsty in the rain.
D A E F#
Thirsty in the rain.
D A E
Thirsty in the rain.
