The Eagle And The Hawk Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

[Song]

DI am the eagle, I live in high country,

 in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sCky.

DI am the hawk and there’s blood on my feathers,

 but time is still turning, they soon will be dCry.

 And aDll those who see me, and all who believe in me,

 share in the freedom I feel when I fFly. E A

 Come daDnce with the D/Cwest wind and tG/Bouch on the mAountain tops.

 SDail o’er the Bmcanyons and Gup to the stAars.

 ReDach for the D/Cheavens and G/Bhope for the fDuture

 and D/Call that we G/Bcan be and Emnot we aAre.

Outro

E E E E E

[Note 1]

The chords in the intro are the E shape played at various positions on the fretboard as

I have named them E plus a number – the number marks the fret that your first finger is on.

[Note 2]

The song is 3/4 time but in the second half of the intro the arrangement has a 6/8 feel.

For a solo guitar you can get the feel of these two rhythms like this:

Standard 3/4 time – one stress on the first beat of each bar.

6/8 feel – stress on the 1st and 4th half beats of the bar. I've suggested 2 strumming

The 1st is harder because you have to create the rhythm by volume on the upstroke at

4th half beat - it's easy to drift back into a 3/4 count. The 2nd strum is a little

It creates the emphasis by missing out the downstroke on the 3rd beat. If you're not

start with this strum and add the downstroke in as you improve.
