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  
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            D7  
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  


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