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

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