Empty Handed Heart chords by Warren Zevon
Guitar chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
I like to play the E/G# chord like a D/F# moved 2 frets up and without the open string, as its the easiest
inversion for me to quickly change to after the Bm. I put some other variants that you can try out too.
E/G# or e.g. E/G# E/G#
e|-----4------------------0------4----|
B|-----5------------------0------5----|
G|-----4------------------1------4----|
D|-----x------------------2------6----|
A|-----x------------------x------x----|
E|-----4------------------4------x----|

Intro:
A A D D Bm D E E
A D D A
All these empty places, I try so hard to fill
A E F#m A D
Will I find another love? I pray to God I will
D Bm E/G# A A/G# F#m
Girl, we had some good times, time does not stand still
D D A
It's rolling like a rock slide, down a hill
A D D A
I've met someone I care for, I know she cares for me
A E F#m A D
Will I fall in love again? It's a possibility
D Bm E/G# A A/G# F#m
But girl, we had some good times, that time cannot undo
D D A
No one will ever take the place of you
E A B E
Heart jinxed condition, never sure how I feel
A A7 Am7 D Bm E
Trying to separate the real thing, from the wishful thinking
Am G D C Em
Sometimes I wonder, if I'll make it without you
D G Am G D
I'm determined to, I'll make my stand
Bm Am7 G C
And if after all is said and done, you'll only find one special one
C G C G
(Then I've thrown down diamonds in the sand)
Remember when we used to watch the sun set in the sea
C G C G
(Then I've thrown down diamonds in the sand)
You said you'd always be in love with me
C G C G
(Then I've thrown down diamonds in the sand)
All through the night we danced and sang
C G C G
(Then I've thrown down diamonds in the sand)
Made love in the mornings while the church bells rang
D G Am7 D
Leave the fire behind you and start
G C G Am7 D G
I'll be playing it by ear, left here with an empty-handed heart
