Goldfinger es una banda de música ska y punk formada en Los Angeles, California, en 1994. Se cree que el nombre de la banda es debido al nombre del film de James Bond, Goldfinger. La banda fué fundada por John Feldmann en voz y guitarra, Simon Williams en bajo, Darrin Pfeiffer en batería, Charlie Paulson en guitarra. Después de firmar un contrato con un sello discografico importante, lanzaron su primer EP titulado Richter. La mayoría de las canciones en Richter son versiones demo de las canciones incluídas en su album debut
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Song: The Upper Hand Artist: Goldfinger Album: Open Your Eyes
Notes: In my opinion, the best song on the album, but seems very little known. Its the bonus track, in case your interested! Also, it uses the same chord twice (F#5), which ive labeled F#5 and F#5a (see bottom!)
Verse
A5E5 Since youve been 15 youve were confused
F#5D5 At the age its so hard to just be you
A5E5 You got your friends, your records
F#5D5 The only thing that makes you feel whole
A5E5F#5 Youre trying to figure it all out
D5A5E5 Sometimes you realise the fight is oh so futile
F#5D5 When someone else is telling you your wrong
Chorus
D5A5 You know your right
G5 But no one seems to listen,
F#5a E5D5 They say you're just a child,
A5 So you turn and fight,
G5 For me that is the only way
F#5a EA5E5F#5 To step to what they say is the upper hand,
D5A5E5F#5 Don't let them take the upper hand
D5 Don't let them take the upper hand
Bridge Solo thing

You wanna go out and forget the day Go out and just make your life seem real Forget your mom and dad Forget about your job, your home, your school You take so much shit, Your girl said it's over You think about giving up But don't you dare give up without a fight
You know you're right But no one seems to listen, They say you're just a child, So you turn and fight, For me that is the only way To step to what they say is the upper hand, Don't let them take the upper hand Never let them take the upper hand The upper hand
