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

[Verse 2]
B C# D#m F#
Oh I am crawling through this city
B C# D#m F#
I say the city will be my home
B C# D#m F#
I say Ferron you are halfway pretty
B C# D#m F#
And may you never be alone
B C# D#m F#
Be it scorn or be it favour
B C# D#m F#
Be it but a moment gone
B C# D#m F#
But I stood before the mirror
B C# D#m F#
Like an open-ended cavern
B C# D#m F#
Like a breath held inhaled, holding,
B C# D#m
And I barely knew my name
[Chorus]
F# C# B
I barely knew my name my friend
B D#m
I barely knew my name
F# C# B
It makes me think of this my friend
B D#m
Where do I live in me?
B C# D#m F#
B C# C#
[Verse 3]
B C# D#m F#
Oh it's a planet of resistance
B C# D#m F#
It's a whirling flame of choice
B C# D#m F#
Are you my comrades in persistence
B C# D#m F#
I swear they'll know us by our voice
B C# D#m F#
Though we lay down in dusty corners
B C# D#m F#
We are ragged as a scar
B C# D#m F#
And when we rest our eyes stay open
B C# D#m
We are always off to war
{Chorus]
F# C# B
We're always off to war my friend
B D#m
We're always off to war
F# C# B
And it makes me think of this my friend
B D#m
Where can the quiet be?
B C# D#m F#
B C# C#
[Verse 4]
B C# D#m F#
Oh is it up the misty mountain
B C# D#m F#
Where wild flowers bind the ground
B C# D#m F#
Is it down by the rushing river
B C# D#m F#
Where force wears those boulders down
B C# D#m F#
Is it underneath my covers
B C# D#m F#
Is it trapped inside my brain
B C# D#m F#
Is it up above the misty mountain
B C# D#m F#
Is it up above the rushing river
B C# D#m F#
Is it up above the bed of longing
B C# D#m F#
Where the eagle takes the wind?
[Outro]
B C# D#m F#
the eagle takes the wind?
B C# D#m F#
the eagle takes the wind?
B C# D#m F#
the eagle takes the wind?
