Grey Eagle is another tune that has turned out to be somewhat of a mystery. I always thought it was inspired by a famous North American Apache Chief by the same name. But, apparently that’s not the case. I couldn’t find any definitive origin for the tune. In fact, there may be several tunes out there with the same name.
I’ve only heard 2, and they sound nothing alike. So, one is in the key of C, and the other is in A. The version in A Major is the one we’re concerned with here.
All the great fiddle players have recorded it over the years. Each one has added their own little twists and subtle changes to the tune, until it almost seems like no two versions are alike.

But, some of those variations have stayed with us, and have actually become part of the modern day version of Grey Eagle. As a result, what might have started out as a simple 2-part fiddle tune, has evolved into a much more complicated 4-part (maybe more) fiddling extravaganza!
Oh, and it’s fun to play on the mandolin.
The Tune
Grey Eagle is a great traditional fiddle tune, and a rewarding tune to learn.
As I stated before, this is the A Major version. Also, I’ve only tabbed out 2 parts. I play the other 2 parts up the neck (maybe we can look at that later). It can be played AABB.

Simple Changes
I’d like to give you a few simple variations to try, if you like.
1. The first time through the A-part, play it like it’s tabbed out above. Second time through try switching the two D-licks around. As a result, you’ll play the 7th bar in place of the 3rd (and the 3rd in place of the 7th).
2.The second time through the B-part, try replacing the E-lick in the 14th bar with this:
3. Finally, when you get to the ending try replacing the 16th and 17th bars with the following:
First of all, try to shift your hand position up as you play the open “A” note, moving your index finger to the 5th fret to begin playing the next 4 notes. Finally, use that open “E” note (on the 1st string) to give you a split second to shift your position back down, placing your ring finger on the 5th fret to finish up that bar and move into the next.
