[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?
