Duvaliers Dream chords by Kris Kristofferson

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
