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

The eagle takes the wind
[Chorus]

The eagle takes the wind my friend

[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?

[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?

[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?
