Verse 1:

Bm C G
If you go down round the bend in the river,

Bm C G
you're gonna find a few changes been going down there.
Bm C G
Cause the people who live round the bend in the river,
Bm C G
have forgotten their dreams and they've cut off their hair.

Chorus:
D C G
And take a last flyin' look at the last lonely eagle,
D C G
he's soaring the length of the land.
D C G
Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle,
D C G Bass run A (G A Bb B)
for you know that he never will land.

Verse 2:

If you go down where the lights push the night time,

back far enough so you can't feel the fear,

remember the boy who ya left on the mountain,

Who's sitting alone with the stars in his tears.

Chorus: Bass run A - Bm C G >
