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 The sky is black, Billy feels bad Today he thinks that he'd be better off dead He hears the pain roaring in his head He'll close his eyes and the world turns red (hard strummed transition) | | Her name was Hope her hair was blacker than the sky She had a smile that made the Devil cry She held is hands, looked him in the eye She said "Believe, Believe and everything will be fine." | | | | Everything will be all right | | Today's the day, you can bet on that I heard her close the door, she ain't looking back A twist of fate or a stroke of luck Well, the answer's over there beyond the wishing well | | | | Everything will be all right | | Soft intrumental Take the fire in your hands And place it at her feet Walk upon the mountain Then you'll sail across the sea Her eyes are taken from the stars above, Her voice is Five Hearts Breaking | Her voice is Five Hearts Breaking | | Her voice is Five Hearts Breaking | | The skies are fire and he's waiting to die And his heart's as empty as a dead man's eyes She held his hands, looked him in the eye She said "Believe, Believe and everything will be fine." | | | | Everything will be all right | | Everything will be all right | | Everything will be all right (One quick strum per letter)
