A Love You Cant Survive Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AmNow I remember the Fpromise I gave you

The Cnight I shipped out as a Dmpeace volunteer

As we Amsat holding hands in the FLamb and Flag tavern

I Cswore I’d be back for you Dmsame 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

Now FI bear the stain, the sGcar on my name

And I Dnever Fcan go back aGgaEmin

AmThere’s a Dmlove you Gcan’t survive, Amthere’s a Dmlove you Gcan’t survive

FAnd it tears you up inGside, Fthere’s a love you Gcan’t survEmive Am

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
