Duvalier was a bitter man who cursed the morning sun 
       Am             Em           Am 
That brought a new betrayal every day 
     Am                  C                G 
He shunned the world of mortals and the sounds of human tongues 
      Am                     G                 E 
And blessed the night that chased their sight away 

   Am             C                G           Am 
A disillusioned dreamer who would never love again 
       Am               C                E 
Who'd tried of it and found that it was rotten 
   Am                 C              G 
Preferring perfect strangers to the company of friends 
       Am            Em        Am     G 
For strangers are so easily forgotten

Oh, it's hard to keep believing when you know you've been deceived 
                                G 
To face a lie and dare to try again,  
             G 
but there's nothing like a woman with a spell of make believe  
                            Am 
to make a new believer of a man

Duvalier took the fickle turns of fortune in his stride 
Am                 Em             Am 
Expecting next to nothing out of life 
      Am              C                  G 
Till fortune found a girl who fanned a flame he thought had died 
       Am             G               E 
Whose burning beauty cut him like a knife 

     Am                      C               G                 Am 
She touched him through the senses that his mind could not control 
      Am               C                    E 
Then smiling stepped aside and watched him fall 
    Am               C            G 
Betrayed by his own body and the hunger in his soul 
   Am            Em          Am   G 
Duvalier was a dreamer after all
