Haiti, [Eb] Cherie, says Haiti is my [Bb] beloved land.
Oh, I never knew that I'd have to leave [Eb] you to understand
just how much I miss the gallant [Ab] citadel
where days long [Eb] ago brave [Bb] men served this [Eb] country well.
[Bb] [Eb] Where sun is bright or even [Bb] with soft moonlight,
a shading tree, creole maiden [Eb] for company,
a gentle breeze, a warm [Ab] caress if you please,
work, laughter [Eb] and play, yes, [Bb] we'll always be [Eb] this way.
