Intro: FF
I was an eagle but I cannot fly,
Bb
I was a lion, but I run no more,
F
I was a river, but the river's dry,
BbF
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home,
F
I've seen the sunrise in a thousand ways,
Bb
I've seen the wonder of a summer storm,
F
I've seen a mountain that touched the sky,
BbF
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home,
CBb
Do not cry for me, I am with the stars,
CBb
Do not cry for me, I am in the wind,
CBb
Do not cry for me, I am with the rain,
BbF
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home,
F
I have my children, I have seen them grow,
Bb
I have a garden that is all the world,
F
We come with nothing, that's how we'll go,
BbF
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home,
CBb
Do not cry for me, I am with the sun,
CBb
Do not cry for me, I am in the wind,
CBb
Do not cry for me, I am with the stars,
BbF
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home,
BbFBbFF
I am an eagle, but I cannot fly,
BbF
And now the spirit has come to take me home.
