	  Em                      Bm         Em 
  1)     Horses are cratures who worship the earth
  2) My  body is merely the     shell of my soul
  4)      Eagles inhabit the     heavenly   heigths
  5) My spirit will never be    broken or   caught
  7) My  body is merely the     shell of my soul
  8) My spirit will never be    broken or   caught


			    Bm         G
  1) As they gallop on     feet of ivory
  2) But the flesh must be given its  due
  4) They know neither     limit nor  bound
  5) For the soul is a     free-flying thing
  7) But the flesh must be given its  due
  8) For the soul is a     free-flying thing

  1)        Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth
  2) Like a      pony that carries its rider back home
  4) They're the guardian angels of darkness and light
  5) Like an      eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
  7) Like a      pony that carries its master back home
  8) Like an      eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought


	     Em                  Bm             Em
  1) The    horses still        run they are  free
  2) Like an old friend that's tried and been true
  4) They   see all and         hear every     sound
  5) To     rise up on         glorious        wings
  7) Like an old friend that's tried and been true
  8) To     rise up on         glorious        wings

     G                 D
     I had a vision of eagles and horses
     C          Am         Em            D
     High on a ridge in a race with the wind
	    C                     G          Em
     Going higher and higher and faster and faster
	C           Em           D     G
     On eagles and horses I'm flying again, 
			       D     C           D     G
			I'm flying again, I'm flying again....
