Off the [G]Misty [Am]Mountain
Wild [F]flowers [G]bind the [Am]ground
[F]Down by the [G]rushing [Am]river
Force will [F]wear those [G]boulders [Am]down
Me, I'm [F]under[G]neath my [Am]covers
Me, I'm [F]trapped in[G]side my [Am]brain

The eagle takes the wind
CHORUS:
The [C]eagle [G]takes the [F]wind, my friend
You know, the eagle takes the [C]wind
It makes me [G]think of [F]this my friend
Where does the eagle [G]live in [Am]me?
INSTRUMENTAL: F G Am (4x)
I go [F]crawling [G]through this [Am]city
I say this [F]city will [G]be my [Am]home
I say, "[F]Woman you are [G]halfway [Am]pretty"
"May, you [F]never [G]be a[Am]lone"
Be it [F]scorn or [G]be it [Am]favour
Be it [F]but a [G]moment [Am]gone
But I [F]stood be[G]fore the [Am]mirror
Like an [F]open-[G]ended [Am]cavern
Like a [F]breath held in, [G]inhaled [Am]holding
F G Am -pause-
And I barely knew my name
CHORUS:
I [C]barely [G]knew my [F]name, my friend
I barely knew my [C]name
It makes me [G]think of [F]this my friend
Where do I [G]live in [Am]me?
INSTRUMENTAL: F G Am (4x)

It's a [F]planet [G]of re[Am]sistance
And a [F]whirling [G]flame of [Am]choice
Are you my [F]comrades [G]in per[Am]sistence?
I swear to [F]know us [G]by our [Am]voice
But though we lay [F]down in [G]dusty [Am]caverns
We are [F]ragged [G]as a [Am]scar
And when we [F]rest, our [G]eyes stay [Am]open
F G Am -pause-
We are always off to war
CHORUS:
We're [C]always [G]off to [F]war, my friend
You know, we're always off to [C]war
It makes me [G]think of [F]this my friend
Where can the [G]quiet [Am]be?
