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
