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

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

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