[Intro]

Em C D

[Verse 1]

C D Em G

Up the misty mountain

C D Em G

Wild flowers bind the ground

C D Em G

Down by the rushing river

C D Em G

Force will wear those boulders down

C D Em G

Me I'm underneath my covers

C D Em G

Me I'm trapped inside my brain

C D Em G

While up above the misty mountain

C D Em G

Up above the rushing river

C D Em G

Up above the bed of longing

C D Em

The eagle takes the wind

[Chorus]

G D C

The eagle takes the wind my friend

C Em

The eagle takes the wind

G D C

It makes me think of this my friend

C Em

Where does the eagle live in me?

C D Em G

C D D

[Verse 2]

C D Em G

Oh I am crawling through this city

C D Em G

I say the city will be my home

C D Em G

I say Ferron you are halfway pretty

C D Em G

And may you never be alone

C D Em G

Be it scorn or be it favour

C D Em G

Be it but a moment gone

C D Em G

But I stood before the mirror

C D Em G

Like an open-ended cavern

C D Em G

Like a breath held inhaled, holding,

C D Em

And I barely knew my name

[Chorus]

G D C

I barely knew my name my friend

C Em

I barely knew my name

G D C

It makes me think of this my friend

C Em

Where do I live in me?

C D Em G

C D D

[Verse 3]

C D Em G

Oh it's a planet of resistance

C D Em G

It's a whirling flame of choice

C D Em G

Are you my comrades in persistence

C D Em G

I swear they'll know us by our voice

C D Em G

Though we lay down in dusty corners

C D Em G

We are ragged as a scar

C D Em G

And when we rest our eyes stay open

C D Em

We are always off to war

{Chorus]

G D C

We're always off to war my friend

C Em

We're always off to war

G D C

And it makes me think of this my friend

C Em

Where can the quiet be?

C D Em G

C D D

[Verse 4]

C D Em G

Oh is it up the misty mountain

C D Em G

Where wild flowers bind the ground

C D Em G

Is it down by the rushing river

C D Em G

Where force wears those boulders down

C D Em G

Is it underneath my covers

C D Em G

Is it trapped inside my brain

C D Em G

Is it up above the misty mountain

C D Em G

Is it up above the rushing river

C D Em G

Is it up above the bed of longing

C D Em G

Where the eagle takes the wind?

[Outro]

C D Em G

the eagle takes the wind?

C D Em G

the eagle takes the wind?

C D Em G

the eagle takes the wind?
