verse 1:
E                                F#m
We got the minds and we got the money
E                        F#m
We got plenty of time 'cause we're on it
E                      F#m
We got dreams just like the rest
                        E  F#m
But we've been 'round
E                     F#m
Not hiding our souls in the shadows
E                        F#m
We stand up and fight when it matters
E                    F#m
We like facing up to the world
                              E F#m
'Cause we've been 'round

bridge:
G#m                                  F#m
But what will we do for the crowd
G#m                                                F#m
Well you know there's no rush on us now

chorus:
                           A     G#m
'Cause we've got time dear
A                    G#m
Here when we like
                    A      G#m  A                G#m
We've got a whole lot of love on our side
                 A    G#m
We've got time dear
        A                  G#m
And we're holding on to it now
                  A    G#m
And by the way dear
A                  G#m
I've got your back
             A     G#m   A             G#m
And it's sure nice to be looking at
              A    G#m
It's what I've got
       A              G#m     F#m
and I'm holding on to it now

verse 2 (same chords as verse 1):
Stuck in a scene that is warlike
We're brushing off the things that we dislike
And now we're having a wail of a time
'Cause we've been 'round
And getting closer to our dreams
There'll be a mark here when we leave
So everybody'll know what we've been 'round

outro:

A G#m A G#m etc
F#m E

ETH cover of Fitzcarraldo by the Frames


These are the chords for the amazing cover of Fitzcarraldo ETH recorded as part of the Whitelake fundraiser.  
This is in DADGAD tuning.
I know the chord names are not entirely correct (they're something suspended, etc).  When I have numbers, I mean to use the octave shape, with the index finger on the A string on the given fret, i.e. 0|8|0|10|0|0

D 0|5|7|7|0|0
Bflat 8|8|10|10|0|0
F 3|3|3|5|x|x
G 5|5|5|7|x|x
A 7|7|7|9|x|x
Bflat2 8|8|8|10|x|x
Gsus 5|5|7|7|0|0

intro:

D                                         Bflat
Here, back, down a long and straight track, I have chose the
D                                         Bflat
long road that leads me out to god knows so I can't stop right now
8 8 7 7

D                                                             Bflat
even the good stars can fall from grace and falter lose their faith, and
D                             Bflat
slide but I can't get an ocean that's deep enough

     F     G             A             Bflat2
for my day it's the first of the ascension
        F    G              A                    Bflat2
it's a sad way we've flown after the storm
            F    G                 A                           Bflat2
and her last words were 'I'm always thinking of you'
          F G     A       Bflat2
In my golden days I was a slave

D                                                                 Bflat
well now it's time for to sound your voice and capture what you're after
D                                        Bflat
my ship was sold right up the river but I'm not going
F       G            A                Bflat2
down here this journey isn't over
        F     G              A                 Bflat2
it's a long way to the house of Fitzcarraldo
            F    G                 A                           Bflat2
and her last words were I'm always thinking of you
          F G     A       Bflat2
in my golden days I was a saint

              F      G            A                          Bflat2
even the good stars can fall from grace and falter
       F   G            A                       Bflat2
like lap dogs that shroud that mystery
            F    G                     A                       Bflat2
and her last words were I'll see you down in history
           F G   A           Bflat2
it's the onely way that we can go

D
I shall eclipse you

outro

it's a long way to Fitzcarraldo
and I don't want to pray for you
in the name of something true
