Can I Sleep in You Arms - Willie Nelson
==========================================================================
WILLIE NELSON SINGS THIS IN THE KEY OF “E“
==========================================================================
[Chorus]
E B7 E
Can I sleep in your arms tonight lady?
B7
It's so cold lying here all alone
E E7 A
And I have no holds to hold on you
B B7 E
I assure you I'll do you no wrong
[Verse 1]
E B7 E
Don't know why but the one I love left me
B7
Left me lonely and cold and so weak
E E7 A
And I need someone's arms to hold me
B B7 E
Till I'm strong enough to get back on my feet
[Chorus]
E B7 E
Can I sleep in your arms tonight lady?
B7
It's so cold lying here all alone
E E7 A
And I have no holds to hold on you
B B7 E
I assure you I'll do you no wrong
[Verse 2]
E B7 E
I haven't smiled since she left me
B7
Cause a smile somehow seems out of place
E A
And I just need two lips to kiss me
B B7 E
Then I can smile again and I can show my face
[Chorus]
E B7 E
Can I sleep in your arms tonight lady?
B7
It's so cold lying here all alone
E E7 A
And I have no holds to hold on you
B B7 E
I assure you I'll do you no wrong
[Bridge]
E E E E
E E B7 B7
E E7 A7 A7
B E A E
[Chorus]
E B7 E
Can I sleep in your arms tonight lady?
B7
It's so cold lying here all alone
E E7 A
And I have no holds to hold on you
B B7 E A E
I assure you I'll do you no wrong
