Chords:
I lost a good friend today.
Captain Phil youre on your way.
Up to the fishing grounds
wont have nobody around.
Pots full of fishing thats gold
brand new stories are told.
Calm seas all around
nobodys gonna set ya down.
Chorus
As the eagle flies
fishing men now dont you cry.
Your life is short,
your name lives on,
two boys to carry on.
As the eagle flies
fishing men now you dont you cry.
you lived hard, strong as steel
were gonna miss you, Phil.
Two boys left on their own.
Got a good throw to go.
You know hes looking down
sun shining when theyre on his grounds.
He left us way too soon.
Didnt get to say goodbye.
Just like my dad before you,
one day well meet eye to eye.
Chorus
As the Eagle flies
fishing men now don't you cry.
your life is short, your name lives on
Two boys to carry on.
As the Eagle flies
fishing men now don't you cry.
Storm rages on and on
gotta keep fishing on.
As the Eagle flies,
fishing men now don't you cry.
Your life is short, your name lives on
two boys to carry on.
As the Eagle flies
fishing men now don't you cry.
Storm rages on and on
gotta keep fishing on.
As the Eagle flies
fishing men now don't you cry.
Lived hard, you're strong as steel
We're gonna miss ya, Phil.
Am, C, G, D - repeat 2x and you can end on the G chord if you like. I prefer ending on G
because it gives the end a nice ring to it =)
