  Bm
  Somebody's shouting up at a mountain

  Only my own words return

  Nobody's up there, it's a deception
                   D Em
  When will I ever learn

       Bm
  I'm alone here
       G         Bm         D
  With emptiness eagles and snow
    G            Bm          D
  Unfriendliness chilling my body
      G          Bm          G
  And whispering pictures of home

Riff

  Verse 2
  Wondering blindly how can they find me
  Maybe they don't even know
  My body is shaking, anticipating
  The call of the black footed crow

  I'm alone here
  With emptiness, eagles and snow
  Unfriendliness chilling my body
  And taunting with pictures of home

Guitar solo: Bm

  Verse 3
  Here in this prison of my own making
  Year after day I have grown
  Into a hero but there's no worship
  Where have they hidden my thrown

  I'm alone here
  With emptiness, eagles and snow
  Unfriendliness chilling my body
  And screaming out pictures of home

Organ solo: Bm

Bass solo:

Riff
