Hey Hey lover by The Heartbreaks
Listen to the tune of a song to work out the rhythm and vocal melody.
If the lyrics are wrong in any way, please notify me. I apologise in advance as Matthew (the singer)
is almost incomprehensible in that beautiful muffly indie way!
F Am
You say you’d love to die with a broken heart
F Am
But I doubt you’ll ever get that far
F Am
So you roam with villains we’ve known
E Bm F G
From bar to bar anywhere but ho-o-ome
[Refrão]C F
Hey! Hey! Lover,
Am F
Hey! Hey! Lover
C F G F
Hey! Hey! Lover we may yet stand a chance
F Am
If only we are not ground down
F Am
By the crushing disappointments that haunt this town
F Am
The echoes of the past that shadow you
E Bm F G
From bar to bar til the night is thro-o-ugh
F Am
Bless me father I have sinned
F Am
And I’m, in too deep and I can’t swim
F Am
But you can’t help the state I’m in
E Bm F G
Only God can help the state I’m in wa-oh
[Refrão]C F
Hey! Hey! Lover,
Am F
Hey! Hey! Lover
C F G F
Hey! Hey! Lover we may yet stand a chance
C F Am F
Bastards are winning, Swindlers are swindling
C F G F
Hey! Hey! Lover we may yet stand a chance
Bridge:
C Am F
There’s just no room in this town
C G Am F
For a heart as big as yours
C G Am F
You know that I want you around
C G Am F
You never said to us you’re bored
G C G Am F
Whilst you’re bo- red
C G Am F
Whilst you’re bo- red
C F
Hey! Hey! Lover,
Am F
Hey! Hey! Lover
C F G F
Hey! Hey! Lover we may yet stand a chance
C F
Hey! Hey! Lover,
Am(stop) F
Hey! Hey! Lover

C F Am F G
a-ho-o-ah-ho
C F Am F G (Repeat until fade)
Enjoy!
