Five Hearts Breaking Chords

  			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
