Duvaliers Dream

Am C G Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed the morning sun Am Em Am That brought a new betrayal every day Am C G He shunned the world of mortals and the sounds of human tongues Am G E And blessed the night that chased their sight away Am C G Am A disillusioned dreamer who would never love again Am C E Who'd tried of it and found that it was rotten Am C G Preferring perfect strangers to the company of friends Am Em Am G For strangers are so easily forgotten C Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived G To face a lie and dare to try again, G but there's nothing like a woman with a spell of make believe Am to make a new believer of a man Am Am C G Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his stride Am Em Am Expecting next to nothing out of life Am C G Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he thought had died Am G E Whose burning beauty cut him like a knife Am C G Am She touched him through the senses that his mind could not control Am C E Then smiling stepped aside and watched him fall Am C G Betrayed by his own body and the hunger in his soul Am Em Am G Duvalier was a dreamer after all C Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived G To face a lie and dare to try again, G but there's nothing like a woman with a spell of make believe Am to make a new believer of a man
