  These are the chords fro Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)
by INXS from the album Listen Like Thieves.  This close on the most 
part.  I could pick up many of the ambiquities Kirk and Tim playing
on the video.  The D#m sounds close in the chorus.  The E in the lyrics
took me along time to come up with but a second opinion would
be appreciated.

Notes:  I play all the chords as barre chords.  I play C# on the
4th and sixth frets and D#m on the six through eigth frets.  The
band plays these farther up the neck (8th and 10th frets) in the
video.  With my acoustic, I can't reach this higher chords very
well.  The E also sounds good as an open chord.

Album: Listen Like Thieves


F#
    Playing in the dust
F#
    We find the seeds of doubt
F#
    Don't water them with your tears
F#
    Don't think about all the years
B         E                   F#
    You'd rather be without

F#
    Eden lets me in
F#
    I find the seeds of love
F#
    And climb upon the highwire
F#
    I kiss and tell all my fears

C#  D#m
    Falling down the mountain
C#  D#m 
    End up kissing dirt
C#  D#m
    Look a little closer
C#  D#m
    Somethimes it wouldn't hurt

F#  
    Playing in the dirt
F#
    We find the seeds of fun
F#
    And we scream like alleycats
F#
    Tearing down what we attack
B      E                      F#   
    To prove that we are one

F#
    Cutting through the night
F#
    We find the seeds of lust
F#
    And lose our minds on one intent
F#
    These passions never seem to end


C#  D#m
    Falling down the mountain
C#  D#m 
    End up kissing dirt
C#  D#m
    Look a little closer
