Duvaliers Dream chords by Kris Kristofferson

Chords with lyrics

A minorAm      C majorC       G+G
Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed the morning sun
    A minorAm       E minorEm      A minorAm
That brought a new betrayal every day
   A minorAm         C majorC        G+G
He shunned the world of mortals and the sounds of human tongues
   A minorAm           G+G         E MajorE
And blessed the night that chased their sight away

  A minorAm       C majorC        G+G      A minorAm
A augmentedA disillusioned dreamer who would never love again
    A minorAm        C majorC        E MajorE
Who'd tried of it and found that it was rotten
  A minorAm         C majorC       G+G
Preferring perfect strangers to the company of friends
    A minorAm      E minorEm    A minorAm   G+G
For strangers are so easily forgotten

     C majorC
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived
                G+G
To face a lie and dare to try again,
       G+G
but there's nothing like a woman with a spell of make believe
              A minorAm
to make a new believer of a man

A minorAm

  A minorAm       C majorC        G+G
Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his stride
A minorAm         E minorEm       A minorAm
Expecting next to nothing out of life
   A minorAm       C majorC         G+G
Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he thought had died
    A minorAm       G+G        E MajorE
Whose burning beauty cut him like a knife

   A minorAm           C majorC        G+G         A minorAm
She touched him through the senses that his mind could not control
   A minorAm        C majorC          E MajorE
Then smiling stepped aside and watched him fall
  A minorAm        C majorC      G+G
Betrayed by his own body and the hunger in his soul
  A minorAm      E minorEm     A minorAm  G+G
Duvalier was a dreamer after all

     C majorC
Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived
                G+G
To face a lie and dare to try again,
       G+G
but there's nothing like a woman with a spell of make believe
              A minorAm
to make a new believer of a man
