Biography:
The Fratellis is an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who took their name from the villains in the film "The Goonies" (although, by coincidence, Barry's mother's maiden name is in fact Fratelli). The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (real name John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry Fratelli (real name Barry Wallace), and drummer, backing vocalist, occasional guitarist and banjo player Mince Fratelli (real name Gordon McRory).

They Go Down
The Fratellis
(From The Soul Crush EP, released December 2014.)
[Intro]
| D | G | D | A | D | G E | D A | D A G . | D A | D .. A |
[Verse 1]
D G
Well, I was born inside a fire on the coattails of desire
D A
I was orphaned in the flood, I was taken for a liar
D G E
My dreams came crashin' to the ground, I was defeated by the sound
D A D A G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
D A |D A |
They go down, they go down, they go down
[Verse 2]
D G
Well, I was denied and I was sold, I was kept out in the cold
D A
Well, there was never any doubt that I believed what I was told
D G E
But all the time that I was lookin' there was nothin' to be found
D A D A G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
D A |D A |
They go down, they go down, they go down
[Verse 3]
D G
Well, I never knew a single friend who didn't crumble in the end
D A
I made a bargain for control, I didn't break, I didn't bend
D G E
With every weapon that they found they tried to send me to the ground
D A D A G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
D A |D A |
They go down, they go down, they go down
[Verse 4]
D G
Well, I was invincible and weird, I was ignored and I was feared
D A
I stood all that I could stand until their faces disappeared
D G E
But I was only half alive, there was no one else around
D A D A G
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
D A |D |
They go down, they go down, they go down
[Bridge]
A Bm
I never cracked a smile, took my service all in town
A Bm
Even when I swam to glory I was sure to drown
D A Bm A
Break it off of my breakdown, break it off of my breakdown
D A Bm A
Break it off of my breakdown, break it off of my breakdown
G
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow
A
Lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow, lookatmenow

[Verse 5]
E A
Well, I was incurable and vain, a lunatic out in the rain
E B
I was beautiful and unctious, I was shackled to the chain
E
And I was screened 'til they agreed
A B
That only half the world was round
||: E B E B A
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
E B E B A :||
They go down, they go down, they go down, down, down
||: E B
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,

Down, down, down, down, down
E A E
They go down, they go down, they go down

Many thanks to Nosalis for providing lyrics I couldn't seem to make out. Now, this chart is done. I hope.
(My chord charts are intended to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They are not
tabs, which notate precisely how a song was played on a recording.)
