Song

ARMS OF LOVE (Robyn Hitchcock)
I've tried to lay out the rhythm as graphically as possible.
(D = down, ^ = up)
D D ^ ^ D ^ D D ^ ^ D ^ D D ^ ^ D D D ^ ^ D ^
(Intro, same as first sung line)   
Maybe tonight you're achin'  
For someone you're dreamin' of 
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.)

Verse 1

Maybe tonight you're achin'  
For someone you're dreamin' of
Tomorrow you'll be wakin'
Into the arms, into the arms of love

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

Maybe the world is fallin'  
It wasn't strong enough
Tell me you'll soon be crawlin'
Into the arms, into the arms of love
Into the arms, into the arms of love
(repeat to end)
