Duvaliers Dream

Am

[Verse 1]

   Am           C              G
Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed
 the morning sun
       Am             Em        
That brought a new betrayal every 
   Am
day
     Am                  C        
He shunned the world of mortals 
        G
and the sounds of human tongues
      Am                     G    
And blessed the night that chased 
             E
their sight away
   Am             C             
A disillusioned dreamer who would 
   G           Am
never love again
       Am               C         
Who'd tried of it and found that 
       E
it was rotten
   Am                 C           
Preferring perfect strangers to 
   G
the company of friends
       Am            Em   
For strangers are so easily 
     Am     G
forgotten

[Chorus]

          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

[Verse 2]

   Am              C            
Duvalier took the fickle turns of 
   G
fortune in his stride
Am                 Em         
Expecting next to nothing out of 
    Am
life
      Am              C           
Till fortune found a girl who 
       G
fanned a flame he thought had died
       Am             G           
Whose burning beauty cut him like 
    E
a knife
     Am                      C    
She touched him through the senses
           G                 Am
 that his mind could not control
      Am               C     
Then smiling stepped aside and 
               E
watched him fall
    Am               C         
Betrayed by his own body and the 
   G
hunger in his soul
   Am            Em          Am   G
Duvalier was a dreamer after all

[Chorus]

          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
