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

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

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