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

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