Intro: F#m, D, F#m, D

For every D chord in the intro and the verses, the progression is D, then take your finger off the high e string, then put the finger back on the 4th fret of the high e string, and then back to normal D.

F#m
Here, back, down along
            D
And straight, track
                                    F#m
I have chosen the long road
                                        D
That leads me out to god knows
                                    F#m
So I can stop right now
 

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

        A     Bm            C#m                    D
For my day is the first of the ascension
        A      Bm               C#m                    D
It's a sad way we've flown after the storm
                A     Bm                            C#m                        D
And her last words were 'I was only thinking of you'
            A           Bm        C#m    D            F#m
In my golden, olden days I was a slave
 

Well now it's time for to sound your voice
And capture what your after
My ship was sold right up the river
                                    A        Bm
But I'm not going down here
           C#m                  D
This journey isn't over
            A     Bm            C#m                        D
It's a long way to the house of fitzcarraldo
                A     Bm                        C#m                            D
And her last words were 'I'm always thinking of you'
            A            Bm       C#m      D        F#m
In my golden, olden days I was a saint

Even the good stars can fall from grace and faulter
Like lapdogs that stride that mystery
And her last words were 'I'll see you down in history
It's the (long lonely) way that we can grow

I shall eclipse you.

It's a long way to Fitzcarraldo
And I don't want to pray for you
In the name of something true
