INXS (pronounced "in excess") were an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. The band's founding members were bassist Garry Gary Beers, main composer and keyboardist Andrew Farriss, drummer Jon Farriss, guitarist Tim Farriss, lead singer and main lyricist Michael Hutchence, and guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly. For 20 years, INXS was fronted by Hutchence, whose magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band.

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.
