[Intro]
A E F#m (Muted gallop on F#m)
[Verse]
F#m
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#m
A birdsong shatters the still
[Pre-chorus]
F#m E/G#
His eyes are ablaze
A B C#
See the madman in his gaze
[Chorus]
F#m E D
Fly on your way like an eagle
E F#m
Fly as high as the sun
E D
On your way like an eagle
E F#m
Fly, touch the sun
[Verse]
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I'll fly
[Pre-chorus]
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave
[Chorus]
F#m E D
Fly on your way like an eagle
E F#m
Fly as high as the sun
E D
On your way like an eagle
E F#m
Fly, touch the sun
(Solo)
[Chorus]
F#m E D
Fly on your way like an eagle
E F#m
Fly as high as the sun
E D
On your way like an eagle
E F#m
Fly as high as the sun
E D
On your way like an eagle
E F#m
Fly, touch the sun
E D
On your way like an eagle
E
Fly
[Outro/Solo]
F#m E/G# A B x4
