An Occasional Eagle
Recorded by John Anderson
Written by Fred Carter

C                      F         Dm
High o'er the coast of Alaska he flies
G7                          E7
Wide across the prairies he covers the skies
  F                      C
A picture of courage and beauty 
  G7                    C
A symbol of freedom and right 
F                            C
Ridin' the winds through the mountains
F         C         Dm         G7       C
Guided by nature an occasional eagle in flight

                                 F      Dm
When the shore ice is melting on Kodiak Bay
G7                     E7
Knowing that spring is well on its way
   F                      C
He calls to his mate of a lifetime 
     G7                 C
To a yearly nest in the thorn 
    F                       C
And planting the egg in the branches
     F     C             Dm         G7       C
With God's assistance an occasional eagle is born

       G7 F               C
And he flies covering the land
G7                          E7                 Am  C D7
Stirring the hearts through all generations of man
F     G7          C        G7                  C
Poets tell of his bearings truth on a feathery wind
F              G7        C
Painters paint from inspiration
  F         C            Dm     G7         C
A beautiful picture that only a memory can bring

                       F         Dm
When I was younger and without a care
    G7                         E7
For granted I thought he would always be there 
        F           C
But now I only hear stories 
         G7                     C
That the great bird of truth is alive 
       F       G7            C
With a fist in my pocket I'm prayin' 
   F       C               Dm            G7         C
An eternal prayer that the great bird of truth will survive 

       G7 F               C
And he flies covering the land
G7                          E7                 Am C D7
Stirring the hearts through all generations of man
  F          G7          C
A picture of courage and beauty 
  G7                    C
A symbol of freedom and right
F          G7               C
Ridin' the wind through the mountains
F         C         Dm         G7       C
Guided by nature an occasional eagle in flight
