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
EAEAE
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)
EAEAE
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."
EBEAEB7
Everything will be all right
EAEAE
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
EBEAEB7
Everything will be all right
EAEA
Soft intrumental
EAEAEAEAE
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
EB7A
Her voice is Five Hearts Breaking
EB7
Her voice is Five Hearts Breaking
EAEAE
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."
EBEAEB7A
Everything will be all right
EB7A
Everything will be all right
EB7
Everything will be all right
(One quick strum per letter)
EEEEAEEEEAEEEEAE
