[Verse 1]

D              G       D               Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
I can't imagine how the world would be
G                                          D         Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Not to see the gray squirrel climbing in an oak tree
G                                                     D      Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
To walk through a corn field and not see the wild duck flyin
A                              G                                D      Dsus2 D
I believe before the world ever got that bad, I'd be on my knees cryin

[Chorus]

         D       G     D               C           G           D
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly, you better run, little cottontail, run
                                   C       G       D    Dsus4 D C G D C G
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun

[Verse 2]

   D                         G                     D     Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
The lion ain't got no jungle, old black bear got no cave
                           G                       D       Dsus2 D           
And that poor old alligator just bout seen his better days

[Chorus]

         D       G     D               C           G           D
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly, you better run, little cottontail, run
                                   C       G       D    Dsus4 D C G D C G
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun

[Bridge]

    G
On a cold winter morning I could look up in the sky
                              D    Dsus4 D
And I could see the wild geese fly
        C        
And on a warm spring day I could look up in the air
   G                      D          Dsus4 D
And I could see the yellow butterfly
   G
How long has it been since you heard the tiny flutter
                       D            Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Of the little wing of a hummingbird
   C                           G
And I once saw the picture of a buffalo
          D            Dsus2 D
A thousand in the herd

[Chorus]

         D       G     D               C           G           D
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly, you better run, little cottontail, run
                                   C       G       D    Dsus4 D
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun

[Outro]

D          G      D
Fly, mister eagle, fly
          C          G                D C G D G D
You better run little cottontail, run
