James Keelaghan - Misty Mountain Chords

INTRO: F  G  Am  (4x)  F

        G     Am
Off the Misty Mountain
     F       G        Am
Wild flowers bind the ground
F           G       Am
Down by the rushing river
           F          G        Am
Force will wear those boulders down
        F    G        Am
Me, I'm underneath my covers
        F         G       Am
Me, I'm trapped inside my brain


          F        G     Am
While up above the Misty Mountain
    F        G       Am
Up above the rushing river
    F        G      Am
Up above the bed of longing
    F     G         Am     -pause-
The eagle takes the wind


CHORUS:
    C     G         F
The eagle takes the wind, my friend
                              C
You know, the eagle takes the wind
            G        F
It makes me think of this my friend
                     G       Am
Where does the eagle live in me?


INSTRUMENTAL: F  G  Am  (4x)


     F        G            Am
I go crawling through this city
           F         G     Am
I say this city will be my home
        F             G       Am
I say, "Woman you are halfway pretty"
          F     G   Am
"May, you never be alone"
      F        G     Am
Be it scorn or be it favour
      F     G      Am
Be it but a moment gone


      F       G        Am
But I stood before the mirror
        F    G     Am
Like an open-ended cavern
       F               G       Am
Like a breath held in, inhaled holding
      F      G       Am     -pause-
And I barely knew my name


CHORUS:
  C      G       F
I barely knew my name, my friend
                 C
I barely knew my name
            G        F
It makes me think of this my friend
           G       Am
Where do I live in me?


INSTRUMENTAL: F  G  Am  (4x)  


BRIDGE:
       F      G    Am
It's a planet of resistance
      F        G        Am
And a whirling flame of choice
           F        G     Am
Are you my comrades in persistence?
           F       G      Am
I swear to know us by our voice


                  F       G     Am
But though we lay down in dusty caverns
       F      G    Am
We are ragged as a scar
            F         G         Am
And when we rest, our eyes stay open
       F      G      Am    -pause-
We are always off to war


CHORUS:
      C      G      F
We're always off to war, my friend
                              C
You know, we're always off to war
            G        F
It makes me think of this my friend
              G     Am
Where can the quiet be?


INSTRUMENTAL: F  G  Am  (4x)  


               F     G  Am
But is it underneath my covers?
             F    G  Am
Or trapped inside my brain?
                F        G     Am
(Is it at the door?) The Misty Mountain
                F        G       Am
(Is it at the door?) The rushing river
             F        G      Am
Is it at the bar? The bed of roaming?
          F     G         Am
Where the eagle takes the wind
    F     G         Am
The eagle takes the wind
    F     G         Am
The eagle takes the wind
