Verse 1:
D     E      Gbm  A
Up the misty mountain
     D       E        Gbm  A
Wild flowers bind the ground
     D       E        Gbm  A
Down by the rushing river
           D          E        Gbm  A
Force will wear those boulders down
       D    E        Gbm   A
Me I'm underneath my covers
       D       E        Gbm   A
Me I'm trapped inside my brain
         D         E        Gbm   A
While up above the misty mountain
   D         E        Gbm   A
Up above the rushing river
   D         E        Gbm   A
Up above the bed of longing
       D    E        Gbm
The eagle takes the wind

Chorus:
    A     E        D
The eagle takes the wind my friend
    D               Gbm
The eagle takes the wind
    A       E        D
It makes me think of this my friend
    D                       Gbm
Where does the eagle live in me?

Verse 2:
        D        E            Gbm  A
Oh I am crawling through this city
          D         E       Gbm  A
I say the city will be my home
      D              E          Gbm  A
I say Ferron you are halfway pretty
            D     E     Gbm  A
And may you never be alone
      D        E       Gbm  A
Be it scorn or be it favour
      D      E       Gbm  A
Be it but a moment gone
      D     E            Gbm  A
But I stood before the mirror
        D     E       Gbm  A
Like an open-ended cavern
       D           E         Gbm    A
Like a breath held inhaled, holding,
      D      E         Gbm
And I barely knew my name

Chorus:
    A     E        D
I barely knew my name my friend
D                Gbm
I barely knew my name
    A       E        D
It makes me think of this my friend
D                  Gbm
Where do I live in me?

Verse 3:
          D      E        Gbm   A
Oh it's a planet of resistance
        D        E           Gbm  A
It's a whirling flame of choice
           D        E        Gbm   A
Are you my comrades in persistence
                D       E        Gbm  A
I swear they'll know us by our voice
          D           E        Gbm  A
Though we lay down in dusty corners
        D     E      Gbm  A
We are ragged as a scar
            D        E          Gbm  A
And when we rest our eyes stay open
        D     E      Gbm
We are always off to war

Chorus:
       A     E      D
We're always off to war my friend
D                  Gbm
We're always off to war
       A        E        D
And it makes me think of this my friend
D                   Gbm
Where can the quiet be?

Verse 4:
          D      E        Gbm   A
Oh is it up the misty mountain
           D      E          Gbm   A
Where wild flowers bind the ground
       D          E        Gbm   A
Is it down by the rushing river
            D           E        Gbm   A
Where force wears those boulders down
      D      E        Gbm   A
Is it underneath my covers
       D      E          Gbm   A
Is it trapped inside my brain
          D        E        Gbm   A
Is it up above the misty mountain
          D        E        Gbm   A
Is it up above the rushing river
          D        E        Gbm    A
Is it up above the bed of longing
          D      E        Gbm   A
Where the eagle takes the wind?

the eagle takes the wind?
    D      E        Gbm   A
the eagle takes the wind?
