[Verse 1]
D E F#m A
Up the misty mountain
D E F#m A
Wild flowers bind the ground
D E F#m A
Down by the rushing river
D E F#m A
Force will wear those boulders down
D E F#m A
Me I'm underneath my covers
D E F#m A
Me I'm trapped inside my brain
D E F#m A
While up above the misty mountain
D E F#m A
Up above the rushing river
D E F#m A
Up above the bed of longing
D E F#m
The eagle takes the wind
[Chorus]
A E D
The eagle takes the wind my friend
D F#m
The eagle takes the wind
A E D
It makes me think of this my friend
D F#m
Where does the eagle live in me?
D E F#m A

[Verse 2]
D E F#m A
Oh I am crawling through this city
D E F#m A
I say the city will be my home
D E F#m A
I say Ferron you are halfway pretty
D E F#m A
And may you never be alone
D E F#m A
Be it scorn or be it favour
D E F#m A
Be it but a moment gone
D E F#m A
But I stood before the mirror
D E F#m A
Like an open-ended cavern
D E F#m A
Like a breath held inhaled, holding,
D E F#m
And I barely knew my name
[Chorus]
A E D
I barely knew my name my friend
D F#m
I barely knew my name
A E D
It makes me think of this my friend
D F#m
Where do I live in me?
D E F#m A

[Verse 3]
D E F#m A
Oh it's a planet of resistance
D E F#m A
It's a whirling flame of choice
D E F#m A
Are you my comrades in persistence
D E F#m A
I swear they'll know us by our voice
D E F#m A
Though we lay down in dusty corners
D E F#m A
We are ragged as a scar
D E F#m A
And when we rest our eyes stay open
D E F#m
We are always off to war
{Chorus]
A E D
We're always off to war my friend
D F#m
We're always off to war
A E D
And it makes me think of this my friend
D F#m
Where can the quiet be?
D E F#m A
D E E
[Verse 4]
D E F#m A
Oh is it up the misty mountain
D E F#m A
Where wild flowers bind the ground
D E F#m A
Is it down by the rushing river
D E F#m A
Where force wears those boulders down
D E F#m A
Is it underneath my covers
D E F#m A
Is it trapped inside my brain
D E F#m A
Is it up above the misty mountain
D E F#m A
Is it up above the rushing river
D E F#m A
Is it up above the bed of longing
D E F#m A
Where the eagle takes the wind?
[Outro]
D E F#m A
the eagle takes the wind?
D E F#m A
the eagle takes the wind?
D E F#m A
the eagle takes the wind?
