ARMS OF LOVE (Robyn Hitchcock)


I've tried to lay out the rythym as graphically as possible.

(d = down, ^ = up)

d    d ^    ^  d ^  d    d ^    ^  d ^  d    d ^    ^  d    d    d ^    ^  d ^


G                   C                   G              C    G
(intro, same as first sung line)
G                   C                   G              C    G
 Maybe            tonight you're        achin'
G                   F                   C                   C
 For someone you're dreamin'           of
D                   D                   C                   C
Tomorrow            you'll be           wakin               Into the
D                   D/G*                C                   C
Arms, into the      arms of             Love

(*You could use either a D, D/G, or a G here, whatever suits you best.)

Maybe tonight you're cryin
Like a poor wounded dove
Tell me you'll soon be flying
Into the Arms, into the arms of love

Maybe tonight you're takin
You couldn't get enough
Honey you'll soon be wakin'
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love

[Interlude, use same three lines of chords that run through the sung verse.]

Maybe the world is falling
It wasn't strong enough
Tell me you'll soon be crawling
Into the Arms, into the arms of Love
(repeat to end)
