[E] [Am]
[D]
[G] Everybody's jumping on the circus [A] train
[C] Some [D] jump high, some [D] jump off again
[Dm] And the rest of the [Am] jazz is rolling when the folk [G] unveil
All through [Am] its delight, [F] all across [G] its nail
Aiming [Em] high where the eagle sails
[D] Where each of [G] its tail [C] feathers speaks
But [Am] wonders, am I [D] still a free bird
Or [D] [G] just a part of [Am] the machine?
Well, here's the cargo [D] baggage from [A] the world out west
[Am] All [C] the picks in [G] the pockets of the Sunday [D] best
[Dm] Shaking hands, [Am] kissing babies for all of [G] their worth
Oh, the promise [Am] you go, [F] promise never [G] on earth
[Em] Still that old bald eagle sir, [D] it's not the first time [C] that you've seen
His [Am] reflection in the [D] eyes of innocents
He's become just [G] another part of the [Am] machine
Part [A] [Gm] [D] of [Am] the machine
[A] I [Dm] [C] wish I had [G] an eagle like you
Just [F] like that [G] one too
You could [C] be my wings [D] to fly in a big [G] bird's sky
[C] Up [E] above the whole machine

[G] [Am] [D] Up in the mountains where the eagle flies
They [Dm] wouldn't take that [C] job [G] offered on a plate
They've got a fire [Am] with the eagle [F] that [G] won't wait
Looking [Em] down on the smoke and the factories
[D] And the trouble [Em] creeps up [C] unseen
They [Am] see themselves in the faces [D] of their children
And realize they too [G] are part of the [Am] machine
[A] [D] Part of [Am] the machine
I [A] [Dm] [C] wish I had [G] an eagle like you
Just [F] like that [G] one too
You could be [C] my wings [D] to fly [G] in a big bird's sky
Hey, [C] let's be [E] part of the machine
