Hearts and Bones Chords & Lyrics by Paul Simon
Hearts and Bones
guitar chords lyrics
E
One and one-half wandering Jews
Free to wander wherever they choose
Are travelling together
In the Sangre de Cristo
The Blood of Christ Mountains
B
Of New Mexico
B7 C#m7 B7/D
On the last leg of the journey
C#m
They started a long time ago
Bmaj7
The arc of a love affair
A
Rainbows in the high desert air
E A
Mountain passes slipping into stones
C#m
Hearts and bones
A
Hearts and bones
E
Hearts and bones
E A E B E A B E
E
Thinking back to the season before
Looking back through the cracks in the door
Two people were married
The act was outrageous
The bride was contagious
B
She burned like a bride
B7 C#m B7
These events may have had some effect
C#m
On the man with the girl by his side
F#7 Bmaj7
The arc of a love affair
A
His hands rolling down her hair
E A
Love like lightning shaking till it moans
C#m
Hearts and bones
A
Hearts and bones
E
Hearts and bones
N/c
And whoa whoa whoa
She said:
Why?
Why don't we drive through the night
A
We'll wake up down in Mexico
N/c
Oh I
I don't know nothin' about nothin' about
A
No Mexico
N/c
And tell me why
Why won't you love me
For who I am
A
Where I am
He said:
Amaj7
'Cause that's not the way the world is baby
E
This is how I love you, baby
A
This is how I love you, baby
E
One and one-half wandering Jews
Return to their natural coasts
To resume old acquaintances
Step out occasionally
B
And speculate who had been damaged the most
B7 C#m
Easy time will determine if these consolations
Will be their reward
F#m7 Bmaj7
The arc of a love affair
A
Waiting to be restored
E A
You take two bodies and you twirl them into one
C#m
Their hearts and their bones
A
And they won't come undone
E
A
Hearts and bones
C#m
Hearts and bones
A
Hearts and bones
E
Hearts and bones
