(intro 2x) F#m D7+ D7+/9 D7+/11+ D7+ D7+/9 F#m D7+ D7+/9 D7+/11+ D7+
F#m D7+
Here, back, down a long and straight track
F#m
I have chose the long road
D7+
That leads me to god knows
F#m
So I can't stop right now
( F#m D7+ D7+/9 D7+/11+ D7+ )
F#m D7+
Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
F#m
Lose their faith and slide
D7+ A9 Bm7
But I can't get an ocean that's deep enough for my day
C#m7 D7+
It's the first of the ascension
A9 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
It's a sad way we've flown after the storm
A9 Bm7 C#m7 D7+
And her last words were "I was only thinking of you"
A9 Bm7 C#m7 E F#m
In my olden days I was a slave
( F#m D7+ D7+/9 D7+/11+ D7+ )
F#m
Well now it's time for to sound your voice
D7+
And capture what you're after
F#m D7+
My ship was sold right up the river, but I'm not going down here
A9 Bm7 C#m7 D7+
This journey isn't over
A9 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
It's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo
A9 Bm7 C#m7 D7+
And her last words were "I'm always thinking of you"
A9 Bm7 C#m7 E F#m
In my olden days I was a saint
( F#m D7+ ) (2x)
A9 Bm7 C#m7 D7+
Even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
A9 Bm7 C#m7 Bm7
Like lapdogs that stride that mystery
A9 Bm7 C#m7 D7+
And her last words were "I'll see you down in history"
A9 Bm7 C#m7 E F#m
It's the only way that we can go
D7+
I shall eclipse you
( F#m D7+ )
