Thirsty in the Rain

Intro Riff (G-F-C-G-F-C-G)

V1
There's an eagle and he keeps on flying                 D       F
Over mountains capped with white snow                C       G

In green valleys lonesome people trying so hard
To tell each other - what they think they know

With greedy hands they take each others money
Just to buy back each others place

In this land of flowing milk and honey                               Em       Bm
They'll wander thirsty - in the rain --- Thirsty in the rain    F C G A F C G

Intro Riff

V2
Like that eagle now my soul is flying
Over mountains through crimson morning sky

And there don't seem to be no use in struggling so hard
There don't seem to be no reasons why

I must fight you for this rich man's money
So I can buy back his helpless place

It seems so useless - and somehow funny
To be thirsty - in the rain ------ Thirsty in all this rain

V3
Fare thee well now my own true lover
My face you 'll never see here no more

But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on that shiny golden shore

Golden shore love where the eagles soar
So high above the fruitful plain

I'm the same friend - that you knew when
We wandered thirsty in the rain ---- Thirsty in the rain
