G\C D4 ( Hold B & E on 1st FRET) AND FROM YOUR HEART YOU WROTE THE SONGS THEN USED THEM FOR YOUR LIFE'S CALLING... VERSE 4: G\C D4 ( Hold B & E on 1st FRET) YOUR MUSIC LIVES ON BUT IF YOU WERE HERE YOUR HEART WOULD SINK AS YOU CRIED A TEAR C Fmaj7 FOR WHILE YOUR SONGS INSPIRE MANY STILL SADLY, YOUR MESSAGE MOVES FAR TOO FEW G\C D4 ( Hold B & E on 1st FRET) SO WHEN I SEE AN BALD EAGLE ON A HILL WITH A TEAR IN ITS EYE, I'LL KNOW IT'S YOU....
