Intro: A E,   F# (Muted gallop on F#)

F#
As the sun breaks above the ground
                                A
An old man stands on the hill
 E                                              A
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
  F#
A birdsong shatters the still

Br
    F#        G#
His eyes are ablaze
        A             B C#
See the madman in his gaze

Ch
F#          E           C#/D
Fly on your way like an eagle
C#/D   E           F#
Fly as high as the sun
        E             C#/D
On your wings like an eagle
C#/D    E         F#
Fly and touch the sun

Vs
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Look the old man in his eyes
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly

Br
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave

Ch
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Solo

On your way  like an ea-gle  Fly as high as the sun
On your way  like an eagle  fly touch the sun
On your way  like an, ea-gle.. fly

Solo 2
