(Intro)
D A E x 4
(verse)
Theres an [B]eagle and he keeps on [D]flying
over the [A]mountains capped in white [E]snow.
In green [B]valleys, lonesome people [D]trying
so hard to tell each [A]other what they think they [E]know.
With greedy [B]hands they take each others [D]money
Just to [A]buy back his helpless [E]pains. (not sure of this last word)
(chorus)
In this [C#min]land of flowing milk and [B]honey
we wander [D]thirsty [A]in the [E]rain.[F#]
[D]Thirsty [A]in the [E]rain.
(verse)
Just like that [B]eagle, now my soul is [D]flying
over the [A]valleys in the crimson morning [E]sky.
And there [B]don't seem to be no use in [D]struggling so hard
and there [A]don't seem to be no reasons [E]why.
Well i must [B]fight you for the rich mans [D]money
so I can [A]buy back his helpless [E]pains. (not sure here either)
(chorus)
Seems so [C#min]useless and somehow [B]funny,
to be [D]thirsty [A]in the [E]rain.[F#]
[D]Thirsty [A]in the [E]rain.
(mandolin break verse chords)
(1 chorus, no words)
(verse)
Fare thee [B]well, now my own true [D]lover,
my face you will [A]never see it no [E]more.
But there [B]is one promise that is [D]given
that I will meet you [A]on that shiny golden [E]shore.
Golden [B]shore, love where the [D]eagle soars
so [A]high above the fruitful [E]plain.
(chorus)
I'm the [C#min]same friend that you [B]knew when
we wandered [D]thristy [A]in the [E]rain.[F#]
[D]Thirsty [A]in the [E]rain.[F#]
[D]Thirsty [A]in the [E]rain.[F#]
[D]Thirsty [A]in the [E]rain.
