Standard (EADGBE)
Sing to the fallen eagle
Helicopters fly
Chase him 'round the mountains
Chase him 'til he dies
They say that it's good sportin'
Shootin' him on the wing
Above the roar and clatter
You can hear your rifle sing
his death song it won't be long
Sing to the western rancher
The eagle takes his land
He's got a thousand others he don't give a dam
Get up with the sunrise everybody gather round
Hit him with the first shot he'll turn and bring you down down down
Crash on the ground
Sing to the golden eagle help is on the way
A government team of experts is rushing to your aid
I know your not excited an eagle is no where
Fly on up to Canada
This country isn't safe anymore that's for sure
