[Verse 1]
F# G# A#m C#
Up the misty mountain
F# G# A#m C#
Wild flowers bind the ground
F# G# A#m C#
Down by the rushing river
F# G# A#m C#
Force will wear those boulders down
F# G# A#m C#
Me I'm underneath my covers
F# G# A#m C#
Me I'm trapped inside my brain
F# G# A#m C#
While up above the misty mountain
F# G# A#m C#
Up above the rushing river
F# G# A#m C#
Up above the bed of longing
F# G# A#m
The eagle takes the wind
[Chorus]
C# G# F#
The eagle takes the wind my friend
F# A#m
The eagle takes the wind
C# G# F#
It makes me think of this my friend
F# A#m
Where does the eagle live in me?
F# G# A#m C#
F# G# G#
[Verse 2]
F# G# A#m C#
Oh I am crawling through this city
F# G# A#m C#
I say the city will be my home
F# G# A#m C#
I say Ferron you are halfway pretty
F# G# A#m C#
And may you never be alone
F# G# A#m C#
Be it scorn or be it favour
F# G# A#m C#
Be it but a moment gone
F# G# A#m C#
But I stood before the mirror
F# G# A#m C#
Like an open-ended cavern
F# G# A#m C#
Like a breath held inhaled, holding,
F# G# A#m
And I barely knew my name
[Chorus]
C# G# F#
I barely knew my name my friend
F# A#m
I barely knew my name
C# G# F#
It makes me think of this my friend
F# A#m
Where do I live in me?
F# G# A#m C#
F# G# G#
[Verse 3]
F# G# A#m C#
Oh it's a planet of resistance
F# G# A#m C#
It's a whirling flame of choice
F# G# A#m C#
Are you my comrades in persistence
F# G# A#m C#
I swear they'll know us by our voice
F# G# A#m C#
Though we lay down in dusty corners
F# G# A#m C#
We are ragged as a scar
F# G# A#m C#
And when we rest our eyes stay open
F# G# A#m
We are always off to war
{Chorus]
C# G# F#
We're always off to war my friend
F# A#m
We're always off to war
C# G# F#
And it makes me think of this my friend
F# A#m
Where can the quiet be?
F# G# A#m C#
F# G# G#
[Verse 4]
F# G# A#m C#
Oh is it up the misty mountain
F# G# A#m C#
Where wild flowers bind the ground
F# G# A#m C#
Is it down by the rushing river
F# G# A#m C#
Where force wears those boulders down
F# G# A#m C#
Is it underneath my covers
F# G# A#m C#
Is it trapped inside my brain
F# G# A#m C#
Is it up above the misty mountain
F# G# A#m C#
Is it up above the rushing river
F# G# A#m C#
Is it up above the bed of longing
F# G# A#m C#
Where the eagle takes the wind?
[Outro]
F# G# A#m C#
the eagle takes the wind?
F# G# A#m C#
the eagle takes the wind?
F# G# A#m C#
the eagle takes the wind?
