  			Am Horses are creatures who Em worship the Am Earth 
Galloping on Em feet of C ivory 
Con F strained by the wonder of Am dying and F birth 
The Am horses still Em run, they are Am free 
 
My body is merely the Em shell of my Am soul 
But the flesh must be Em given it´s C due 
Like a F pony that carries it´s Am rider back F home 
Like an Am old friend who´s Em tried and been Am true 

I  C had a vision of G Eagles and Horses 
F High on a Am ridge in a C6 race with the G wind 
Going F higher and higher, C faster and Am faster 
On F Eagles and Am Horses, I´m C6 flying C again 
  2nd time     Flying F again, I´m flying C again 
  3rd time     Flying  F again, I´m flying C again 
                  Flying F again, I´m flying C again 
 
Am Eagles inhabit the Em heavenly Am heights 
They know neither Em limits or C bounds 
They´re the F guardian angels of Am darkness and F light 
They Am see all and Em hear every Am sound 
 
My spirit will never be Em broken or Am caught 
For the souls a Em free flying C thing 
Like an F Eagle that needs neither Am comfort nor F pause 
To Am rise up on Em glorious Am wing 
 
Chorus: 
 
Am My body is merely the Em shell of my Am soul 
But the flesh must be Em given it´s C due 
Like a F pony that carries it´s Am master back F home 
Like an Am old friend who´s Em tried and been Am true 
 
My spirit will never be Em broken or Am caught 
For the souls a Em free flying C thing 
Like an F Eagle that needs neither Am comfort nor F pause 
To Am rise up on Em glorious Am wing 
 
Chorus:
