Lyrics:
Em                       C
It's snowing outside the rumbling sound
                       Em
of engines roar in the night,
                        D
The mission is near the condident men
    C                        Em
are waiting to drop from the sky.
                  C                      D
The blizzard goes on but still they must fly
              C               D
No one should go where eagles dare
Em                         D
Bavarian alps that lay all around
             C          Em
they seem to stare from below,
                       D
The enemy lines a long time passed
          C           Em
are lying deep in the snow.
         C                           D
Into the night they fall through the sky
              C                D    B C D
No one should fly where eagles dare.
                               (Em D Em D)
                               (Em G) B C D

They're closing in the fortress is near
it's standing high in the sky,
The cable car's the only way in
it's really impossible to climb.

They make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day.
Em                                 D    
The panicking cries the roaring of guns
            C                 Em
are echoing all around the valley,
                                    D
The mission complete they make to escape
          C          Em
away from the Eagles Next.
              C                     D  
They dared to go where no one would try
              C                D    B
they chose to fly where eagles dare.
