The Arms Of Mine

Check also: Blue Blot: ’These Arms Of Mine’.  Tony Joe wrote this song for these Belgian blues musicians. Before recording it himself several years later. [Intro] | | | | | [Verse 1] These arms of mine don’t have the muscles.       And they don’t punk no eye. But they can hold you when you’re hurtin’ baby.   These arms of mine. [Verse 2] These arms we’re made to hold a woman. When she get’s lonely in the night. And I keep them wide o - pen baby.   These arms of mine. [Break] | | | | | [Verse 3] This old heart is sentimental.       Guess I wear it on my sleeve. But it fills your pain baby. When dreams are scattered like falling leaves. [Verse 4] This heart was made to love a woman. Though it may be broken time to time. It beats in rythm with your lov-in’ baby. This heart of mine. [Interlude] | | | / | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 5] If these hands could paint a picture. If they only knew where to start. I’d paint a portrait of my love for you baby.    Straight from the heart. [Verse 6] These hands were made to touch a woman. And wipe the teardrops from her eyes. And they’re reaching out for your love baby.   These hands of mine. [Break] | | | | | [Coda] These arms these arms of mine. This old heart this heart of mine. These hands these hands of mine. [Outro] | / | | | | | | | | |
