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

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

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