DUKE SPECIAL - PORTRAIT from the album "Songs from the deep forest"

Arranged for Guitar - No Capo - Standard Tuning

Intro:     (3x) (play as barre chords)


Paint my picture if you must
Please remember to be kind.
                                                 
'Cause darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
Paint me with a villain heart
Like some cruel valentine
                                              
But darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.

                   
And when you feel the clash, 
                       
And you don't want me around
                    
Could you endure the rasp as
                                  
kisses filled with fibreglass rain down


Heavy as a hummingbird
But more difficult to find
                                             
Well darling,your broken heart was never on my mind.

Clumsy as a ragtime clown
Or a dancing Frankenstein
                                                
Well darling,your broken heart was never on my mind

                                            
So pull this canvas down beneath that angry moon
                 
As you endure the sound of 
                              
One more singer singing out of tune.
Out of tune.


So paint my picture if you must
Not forgetting to be kind.
                                                 
'Cause darling, your broken heart was never on my mind.
