got enthroned [G] at another's [Em] life?
The heart of love [G] is our [Bm] only life.

Faithless [G] creeds
[D] [Em] consolidating,
Holding down [G]

Let's start jamming Portishead - (Live / Remastered 2023) Western Eyes chords, practice the chord sequence E, G, E, Em, Bm, E, G, B, Em, G and Em. A strategic approach would be to train at 69 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 138. With an eye on the song's key (unknown) Major, set the capo that best suits your vocal range.
