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

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

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