Chords

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: José Duarte [email protected]
