Verse 1
C 
Well, he rides into town
F 
on the back of a big silver eagle
G 
Strapped to his shoulders
C 
are the burdens of staying on top
And the lines in his face
F 
tell the story of an uphill fly
G 
You can tell how he feels day by day
C 
by the songs that he writes
He's loved by millions,
F 
somehow he's their prisoner as well
G 
As he rides down the road
C 
in his tin -wheeled aluminum cell
He just waits for the day
F 
that the eagle will carry him home
G 
Cause the glamour is over,
C 
nearly all of his seeds have been sown
Dm 
Let him go, Silver Eagle,
G 
C 
there must be a better way of life
Dm 
For this great American poet
G 
Who's singing his songs
Dm 
G 
C 
about the everyday working man's life
One night on the highway,
F 
just south of the Idaho line
G 
Me, Hag, and Dino
C 
was splitting a bottle of wine
Just before daylight
F 
Hagg pushed back his hat and he said
G 
Are we puttin' too much emphasis
on bein' a star?
C 
Can we do a little bit of livin' instead?
Dm 
Let him go, Silver Eagle
G 
C 
There must be a better way of life
Dm 
For this great American poet
G 
Who's singing his songs
Dm 
About the everyday work
G 
C 
ing man's life
Dm 
He's singing his songs
G 
C 
About the everyday working man's life
