This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics

I saw a light, just up ahead

But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed

I'm not alone, and then I am

'Cause people seem to think I'm superman

But I watch for the love

I'm living in the day of the eagle

Eagle, not the dove

It's like a weight that brings me down

If I don't move, I'm on the ground

It's in my mind, it's in my soul

It's telling me the things I can't be told

It's a watch for the love

Living in the day of the eagle

Eagle, not the dove

Another day, another night

I want to love, they want to fight

I need the time, I got to be alone

I got to meet a lover on my own

But I watch for the love

Living in the day of the eagle

Eagle, not the dove
