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

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