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
E A E A
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)
| E A | | E A |
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."
| E B7 | | E A |
| E B7 |
Everything will be all right
| E A | | E A |
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
| E B7 | | E A |
| E B7 |
Everything will be all right
| E A | | E A |
Soft intrumental
E A E A
E A E A
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
| E A | | E A |
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."
| E B7 | | E A |
| E B7 | | E A |
Everything will be all right
| E B7 | | E A |
Everything will be all right
| E B7 |
Everything will be all right
(One quick strum per letter)
