[Intro]
Em

[Verse]
Em
Working coast to coast
G
Sleeping on a train
D
Caught between the settled life
Am
And on the road again
Em
People often ask me
G
Where it is I’m from
D
Find it hard to tell them
Em G
So I say it in a song

[Chorus]
C
Eagle in the mountain
Em
Floating on the breeze
D
Shark out in the ocean
Am
He’s happy in the deep
C
Me, I’ve got my own place
Em
It’s good enough for me
D C
You could find me anywhere
Em
Between the mountains and the sea

[Verse]
Em
I've been a lot of places
G
Done a lot of things
D
Some of them were so good
Am
I’d do those things again
Em
The town that I was born in
G
It knows me all too well
D
I hope they’ll take me back there
Em G
When the keeper rings the bell

[Chorus]
C
Ooh, but that eagle in the mountain
Em
Floating on the breeze
D
Shark out in the ocean
Am
He’s happy in the deep
C
Me, I’ve got my own place
Em
And it’s good enough for me
D C
You could find me anywhere
Em
Between the mountains and the sea

[Instrumental]
C Em D C Em

[Verse]
Em
Sometimes I stop and wonder
G
How it came to this
D
This life of lonely travelling
Am
So far from civil bliss
Em
Ooh, some people on the journey
G
Oh, some I've loved so deep
D
Others took advantage
Em
Oh, and some had no idea

[Chorus]
C
Oh, but that eagle in the mountains
Em
Floating on the breeze
D
Shark out in the ocean
Am
He’s happy in the deep
C
Me, I’ve got my own place
Em
It’s good enough for me
D C
You could find me anywhere
Em
Between the mountains and the sea

[Chorus]
C
Eagle in the mountains
Em
Rainbow in the sky
D
Shark out in the ocean
Am
He’s following the tide
C
Spirit of this country
Em
I hear it speak to me
D C
When the wind is calling
Em
Between the mountains and the sea
D C
When the wind is blowing
Em
Between the mountains and the sea
