Tom : E
E A E A
[Verse 1]
E
She's been there, God knows, she's been there
A F#m
She has seen and done it all
B
She's a woman, she know how to
A E
Dish it out or take it all
Her heart's as soft as feathers
A
Still she weathers stormy skies
F#m A B E A
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
E B7 E B7 C#m
But she's an eagle when she flies
[Verse 2]
B7 E
A kaleidoscope of colors
A F#m
You can toss her around and round
B
You can keep her in you vision
A E
But you'll never keep her down
She's a lover, she's a mother
A
She's a friend and she's a wife
F#m A B E A
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
E B7 E B7 C#m
But she's an eagle when she flies
[Chorus]
B7 E A E
Gentle as the sweet magnolia
A E
Strong as steel, her faith and pride
A E
She's an everlasting shoulder
F# B
She's the leaning post of life
E A E
She hurts deep and when she weeps
C#m B7 A
She's just as fragile as a child
B7 E A
And she's a sparrow when she's broken
E B7 E B7 C#m A
But she's an eagle when she flies
E A B E C#m A
She's a sparrow when she's bro- ken
F#m E B7 E
But she's an eagle when she flies
A
Oh, bless her, Lord
E B7 E A E
She's an eagle when she flies
