A            F                       A
 Then as it was, then again it will be
                            F
An' though the course may change sometimes
                         A Am Em D C
Rivers always reach the sea

A                F                         A
 Blind stars of fortune, each have several rays
                F                        A
On the wings of maybe, downing birds of prey
                           F
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to go
A                                F
But as the eagle leaves the nest, got so far to go

Dm  A   F D

Chorus:
A                  F                               A
  Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me
                 F                               A
In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

Am Em D C

D     G     Em    D

                     G
Did you ever really need somebody,
                     D
And really need 'em bad
                     G
Did you ever really want somebody,
                        D
The best love you ever had
               G                               D
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good
               G
'Cause it was just the first time,
                  A
And you knew you would

D     G     C     A

A                         F                      A
 Through the eyes and I sparkle, senses growing keen
                  F
Taste your love along the way,
                    A
See your feathers preen
                  F                               A
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
       F                            A
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

F     A     F

Chorus:
A               F                             A
  Vixen in my dreams, with great surprise to me
                   F
Never thought I'd see your face
                  A
The way it used to be
Am    Em     D      C
  Oh darlin',   oh darlin'

A     D     A     D
A     D     A               D
                 I'm never going to leave you
A             D
   I'm never going to leave
                       A
Holding on, ten years gone
           D                           A      D
Ten years gone, holding on, ten years gone

A     D     A     D
