A Love You Cant Survive

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 id 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 theres a love you cant survive , theres a love you cant survive F G F G Em Am and it tears you up inside , theres a love you cant 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 im king of the clouds and all i survey theres women who are willing , and the law cant touch me but yours is the one face that wont go away Chorus by : jose duarte jtduarte1@gmail . com
