Silver Eagle chords

[A]Well he rides into town on the back of a big silver [D]eagle
[E7]Strapped to his shoulders are the burdens of staying on [A]top
And the lines in his face tell the story of an uphill [D]flight
You can [E7]tell how he feels day by day by the songs that he [A]writes

He's loved by millions somehow he's their prisoner as [D]well
As he [E7]rides down the road in his ten wheeled aluminum [A]cell
Now he lives for the day that the eagle will carry him [D]home
'Cause the [E7]glamour is over nearly all of his seeds have been [A]sown

Let him go sil[D]ver eagle th[E7]ere must be a better way[A] to fly
For this great American [D]poet who's [E7]singing his songs
About the everyday working man's [A]life

One night on the road just south of the Idyho [D]line
We were [E7]smoking some contracts and attempting to alter our [A]minds
Then just before daylight Hank pushed back his hat and he [D]said
"Ah we're [E7]puttin too much emphasis on bein' a star
Can't we do a little bit of living [A]instead"

Let him go silv[D]er eagle the[E7]re must be a better way [A]to fly
For this great American [D]poet who's [E7]singing his songs
About the everyday working man's [A]life

Let him go sil[D]ver eagle th[E7]ere must be a better way[A] to fly
For this great American [D]poet who's [E7]singing his songs
About the everyday working man's [A]life
