Eagle on a Pole Conor Oberst
Capo: 3rd fret
Intro: C Am C Am C C/B Am F
Saw an ea[C]gle on a p[Am]ole
I th[C]ink it was an ea[Am]gle
Wa[C]tched its[C/B] shadow f[Am]ly across the cem[F]ent
I wo[C]ke up in the s[Am]now
All the t[C]rees were crowds of pe[Am]ople
No c[C]oat, no s[C/B]hoes, no i[Am]dea where they w[F]ent
I followed the f[Am]ence line t[C]hin
Back where the y[Am]ard begi[C]ns
My wo[E]man, she stood crying like a m[G]an[F]
Said, "Where have you b[G]een[F]
Where have you be[G]en?"
I th[C]ought you s[C/B]aid that a[Am]ll of that was d[F]one
El c[C]ielo [C/B]es az[Am]ul
Just don't go[F] telling everyo[C]ne
[G]
Thought the ke[C]ttle was a t[Am]rain
Thought that Mo[C]nday was a door fr[Am]ame
I tr[C]ied so h[C/B]ard to f[Am]inally settle d[F]own
Heard the f[C]ire pop and s[Am]nap
Like a t[C]ack piano r[Am]ag
I n[C]ever coul[C/B]d get us[Am]ed to happy s[F]ounds
But I hope the w[Am]orld's expo[C]sed
A cruel and ela[Am]borate ho[C]ax
That con[E]vinces me to walk without a c[G]ane[F]
But what can you [G]do[F]
What can you d[G]o
I al[C]ways he[C/B]ard that w[Am]hat is done is d[F]one
El c[C]ielo [C/B]es az[Am]ul
Just don't go[F] telling everyo[C]ne
The p[C]ast don't ever q[Am]uit
There's b[C]oxes in the a[Am]ttic
B[C]aby s[C/B]hoes and t[Am]axidermy dr[F]eams
While the a[C]shes of the d[Am]ead,
like a d[C]andelion h[Am]ead
Exp[C]lode[C/B] and then are s[Am]cattered by the br[F]eeze
And it's such a l[Am]ong way b[C]ack
to all the [Am]fun I h[C]ad
When not[E]hing ever seemed to bother m[G]e[F]
But what can you d[G]o
Child[F], what can you d[G]o[F]
Sleep ben[C]eath the s[C/B]tars, and t[Am]oil in the s[F]un
El c[C]ielo [C/B]es az[Am]ul
Just don't go[F] telling everyo[C]ne
El c[C]ielo [C/B]es az[Am]ul
Just don't go[F] telling everyo[C]ne
