Merle Haggard - The Emptiest Arms In The World Chords

THE EMPTIEST ARMS IN THE WORLD

KEY: F / CAPO: 1 / PLAY: E

INTRO: E A E B7 E

VERSE:
E                                  A
I only call when I've had that one too many
A      E                              B7
And my lonely room goes spinning in a whirl
B7    E                            A
And tonight I couldn't even find my pillow
A            E        B7          E
I've got the emptiest arms in the world

VERSE:
I no longer wear the gold band on my finger
And from time to time I find myself a girl
But when I realize that she's not you I'm holding
I've got the emptiest arms in the world

CHORUS:
E        B7                       A      E
My empty arms won't ever hold you close again
E                                                  F#           B7    
And these cheap hotels are like a prison cell that keep closing in
B7    E                             A
Cause you alone can fill this lonely feeling
A      E        B7          E
Of the emptiest arms in the world

BREAK: E A E B7 E

TAG:
Cause you alone can fill this empty feeling
Of the emptiest arms in the world
