Here's one of my favorite Alejandro Escovedo songs. I couldn't find the chords so I think I figured out for myself. More of an alt-country tune, but I reckon there's room for that on COWPIE. Thanks. FIVE HEARTS BREAKING Alejandro Escovedo Every chord is an 8-count except when bracketed together EAEA E The sky is black, Billy feels bad A Today he thinks that he'd be better off dead E He hears the pain roaring in his head A He'll close his eyes and the world turns red (hard strummed transition) EAEA E Her name was Hope her hair was blacker than the sky A She had a smile that made the Devil cry E She held is hands, looked him in the eye A She said "Believe, Believe and everything will be fine." EBEA E B7 Everything will be all right EAEA E Today's the day, you can bet on that A I heard her close the door, she ain't looking back E A twist of fate or a stroke of luck A Well, the answer's over there beyond the wishing well EBEA E B7 Everything will be all right EAEA Soft intrumental EAEA EAEA E Take the fire in your hands A And place it at her feet E Walk upon the mountain A Then you'll sail across the sea E Her eyes are taken from the stars above, A Her voice is Five Hearts Breaking E B7 A Her voice is Five Hearts Breaking E B7 Her voice is Five Hearts Breaking EAEA E The skies are fire and he's waiting to die A And his heart's as empty as a dead man's eyes E She held his hands, looked him in the eye A She said "Believe, Believe and everything will be fine." EBEA E B7 A Everything will be all right E B7 A Everything will be all right E B7 Everything will be all right (One quick strum per letter) EEEEAEEEEAEEEEAE
