From "🏷Legendary Hearts" (1983)


Chorus:


D MajorD        G+G           D MajorD
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
G+G           D MajorD
By the one who says she needs you
G+G        AsusAsus A augmentedA
Above all other men
D MajorD         G+G        D MajorD
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
G+G         D MajorD    G+G   A augmentedA  D MajorD
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed

Verse:


D MajorD                   G+G
Justice taught her confidence her mother was like steel
   E minorEm
Her cousins, they're all convicts
   A augmentedA             AsusAsus
She alone rose above that wheel
D MajorD
But a motorcyclist no matter how good
   G+G
Is slave to the oncoming truck
    E minorEm             A augmentedA
And the poison of her father was her most pitiless luck


Chorus:

D MajorD        G+G           D MajorD
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
G+G           D MajorD
By the one who says she needs you
G+G        AsusAsus
Above all other men
D MajorD         G+G        D MajorD
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
G+G         D MajorD    G+G   A augmentedA  D MajorD
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed

Verse:


D MajorD              G+G
Three of us lie in this bed, night of infamy
E minorEm                A augmentedA
One of us lies on our back, her father's in her head
D MajorD
And quick she turns and slaps my face
    G+G
And with her eyes open wide she screams
  E minorEm
"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!"
       A augmentedA
But she's looking right past me


Chorus:


D MajorD        G+G           D MajorD
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
G+G           D MajorD
By the one who says she needs you
G+G        AsusAsus A augmentedA
Above all other men
D MajorD         G+G        D MajorD
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
G+G         D MajorD    G+G   A augmentedA  D MajorD    G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Her father did his duty and I lie down betrayed
  G+G   A augmentedA  D MajorD     G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And I lie down betrayed
 G+G  A augmentedA  D MajorD    G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
I lie down betrayed

G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
