 A   G   A   G   A   G   Bm  E  A


Oh, my home is in the mountains.
       G
I am free, I am free.
     A
I am one with wind and eagles.
       G
I am free.
       A
Given wings to sail in gracefullness.
      G
The sky, the sky.
         A
Given a voice to sing in brethlessness.
   G                Bm   E   A           F
I find that I can fly, fly away.


I�ve been a long time on the highway.
             C
I�ve been a long time on the run.
  
And it gets to be like chaos
             F
When I�m so long away from home.

And sometimes it�s just to much to bare.
       C
And I hide behind my eyes.

I can picture friendly faces.
            F
And I can dream of friendly skies.
       G
And I guess that I�m a lucky one.
          D
For the truth of what I know.

For my heart had not denied me.
       G
And I have somewhere to go.

I shall never be a prisoner.
        D
Touch steel and glass and stone.
       
If I leave I will return again
                      G
To my Rocky Mountain Home.

In the hands of my father.
                     D   A
In the light of the sunshine.
                   D   A  E
On the wings of an eagle.

I�m flying again.
