Here s the tab for the introduction section of the song before Andy starts singing. I m
still a little sketchy about the last part as I feel as if I am missing a note or two
btu this is as close to the last part as I could get. If anyone else has figured out the
end section of the introduction before the audio feel free to e-mail or post
corrections in
the comments section =)If the tab is difficult to read please let me know. The first
line of the B string introduction is played twice before playing along the G string.

Chords:
I lost a good friend today.
Captain Phil youâre on your way.
Up to the fishing grounds
wonât have nobody around.
Pots full of fishing thatâs gold
brand new stories are told.
Calm seas all around
nobodyâs gonna set ya down.
CHORUS:
As the eagle flies
fishing men now donât you cry.
Your life is short,
your name lives on,
two boys to carry on.
As the eagle flies
fishing men now you donât you cry.
you lived hard, strong as steel
weâre gonna miss you, Phil.

Two boys left on their own.
Got a good throw to go.
You know heâs looking down
sun shining when theyâre on his grounds.
He left us way too soon.
Didnât get to say goodbye.
Just like my dad before you,
one day weâll 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 =)
