Intro: F 

         F 
I was an eagle but I cannot fly, 
                            Bb 
I was a lion, but I run no more, 
         F 
I was a river, but the river's dry, 
     Bb                                   F 
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home, 
      
               F 
I've seen the sunrise in a thousand ways, 
                                   Bb 
I've seen the wonder of a summer storm, 
             F 
I've seen a mountain that touched the sky, 
     Bb                                   F 
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home, 

         C               Bb 
Do not cry for me, I am with the stars, 
         C              Bb 
Do not cry for me, I am in the wind, 
         C               Bb 
Do not cry for me, I am with the rain, 
     Bb                                   F 
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home, 

            F 
I have my children, I have seen them grow, 
                                 Bb 
I have a garden that is all the world, 
              F 
We come with nothing, that's how we'll go, 
     Bb                                   F 
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home, 

         C               Bb 
Do not cry for me, I am with the sun, 
         C              Bb 
Do not cry for me, I am in the wind, 
         C               Bb 
Do not cry for me, I am with the stars, 
     Bb                                   F     
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home, 

Bb F Bb F 

        F 
I am an eagle, but I cannot fly, 
     Bb                                 F 
And now the spirit has come to take me home.
