[Verse]
A E F#m F#7 F#m
■ ■ ■   ■   ■  
       F#m                        
As the sun breaks above the ground
   F#m                       
An old man stands on the hill
       E                                      
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
F#7                          
A birdsong shatters the still


[Chorus]
             G#7    G#m
His eyes are ablaze ■  
        A             B   
See the madman in his gaze
F#m         E        D       
Fly on your way like an eagle
       E           F#7 F#m
Fly as high as the sun ■  
        E        D       
On your way like an eagle
E                 F#7
Fly and touch the sun


[Verse]
F#m                            F#m7             
■   Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
F#m7                        
Looks the old man in the eye
      E                                        
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
       F#7                           
In the name of God my father I'll fly
                 G#m   
His eyes seem so glazed
      A                       B    
As he flies on the wings of a dream
C#7    F#7              G#7      G#m
Now he knows his father betrayed ■  
        A                      B              
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave


[Chorus]
F#7         E           D    
Fly on your way like an eagle
       E           F#7
Fly as high as the sun
        E           D    
On your way like an eagle
E                
Fly touch the sun

Yeah Fly on your way like an eagle

Fly as high as the sun
        E        D       
On your way like an eagle
       E           F#7
Fly as high as the sun
        E           D    
On your way like an eagle

On your way like an eagle
