[Intro]
D D C G D D C G D D
[Verse 1]
D G D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
I can't imagine how the world would be
G D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Not to see the gray squirrel climbing in an oak tree
G D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
To walk through a corn field and not see the wild duck flyin
A G D Dsus2 D
I believe before the world ever got that bad, I'd be on my knees cryin
[Chorus]
D G D C G D
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly, you better run, little cottontail, run
C G D Dsus4 D C G D C G
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun
[Verse 2]
D G D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
The lion ain't got no jungle, old black bear got no cave
G D Dsus2 D
And that poor old alligator just bout seen his better days
[Chorus]
D G D C G D
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly, you better run, little cottontail, run
C G D Dsus4 D C G D C G
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun
[Bridge]
G
On a cold winter morning I could look up in the sky
D Dsus4 D
And I could see the wild geese fly
C
And on a warm spring day I could look up in the air
G D Dsus4 D
And I could see the yellow butterfly
G
How long has it been since you heard the tiny flutter
D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Of the little wing of a hummingbird
C G
And I once saw the picture of a buffalo
D Dsus2 D
A thousand in the herd
[Chorus]
D G D C G D
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly, you better run, little cottontail, run
C G D Dsus4 D
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun
[Outro]
D G D
Fly, mister eagle, fly
C G D C G D G D
You better run little cottontail, run
