"Loving Arms"
The Bellfuries
from the LP "Workingman's Bellfuries"
[Intro]
F#mCease-fire, soldier, lay the weAapon at your feet
F#mGive up your arms to hold her and coAncede defeat
Ah oDoh ooh ooh It's sweet surBmrender in your loving aArms
[Verse]
AThese days love's light is a nuclear white
Your sC#mmile was an aGtom bAomb
Your kiC#msses were the missiles, and they laAnded on my lips
My reE7sistance was a pittance up against your loving aArms
AFrom the dugout trenches where the wounded take retreat
I set C#moff with my aGrmy, keen to kAill
We C#mtook our position, eyed the oAncoming opposition
Then higE7htailed it back into the hills
[Chorus]
F#mCease-fire, soldier, lay the weAapon at your feet
F#mGive up your arms to hold her and coAncede defeat
Ah oDoh ooh ooh It's sweet surBmrender in your loving aArms
[Verse]
AFlank, charge, tank desant, surface to ai
C#mBlitzkrieg, bGait & bleed, chAemical warfare
C#mLine 'em all up and waAtch 'em all fail
RuE7nning on a rat wheel, chAasing your tail
[Chorus]
F#mCease-fire, soldier, lay the weAapon at your feet
F#mGive up your arms to hold her and coAncede defeat
Ah oDoh ooh ooh It's sweet surBmrender in your loving aArms
