A Love You Can't Survive Am F Now I remember the promise I gave you C Dm The night I shipped out as a peace volunteer Am F As we sat holding hands in the Lamb and Flag tavern C Dm I swore I?d be back for you same time next year But I killed a man in a Brazzaville street fight I tried to hold back, but he taunted me so 5 years till they freed me from that Brazzaville prison Out of boredom or pity, I never will know Chorus: F G Now I bear the stain, the scar on my name D F G Em And I never can go back again Am Dm G Am Dm G There?s a love you can?t survive, there?s a love you can?t survive F G F G Em Am And it tears you up inside, there?s a love you can?t survive I sailed my boat into New Orleans harbour Tied up at the jetty, as bold as you please With a half-ton of charlie built in to the bulkhead Right under the noses of all them police Now here I sit in my house on the mountain I?m King of the clouds and all I survey There?s women who are willing, and the law can?t touch me But yours is the one face that won?t go away Chorus by: Jos Duarte jtduarte1@gmail.com
