Can I Sleep In Your Arms


   G                     C           G
Can I sleep in your arms, tonight, lady?
                    C         G
It's so cold lyin' here all alone.
                    D7         G
An' I have no hold to hold on you.
                        C          G
An', I assure you, I'll do you no wrong.

    G                        C         G
Don't know why, but the one I love left me.
                     C          G
Left me lonely an' cold an' so weak.
                     D7           G                  
And I need someone's arms to hold me.
                          C              G
Till I'm strong enough to get back on my feet.


Can I sleep in your arms, tonight, lady?
It's so cold lyin' here all alone.
An' I have no hold to hold on you.
An', I assure you, I'll do you no wrong.

Instrumental break.(I think key changes here)

Can I sleep in your arms, tonight, lady?
It's so cold lyin' here all alone.
And I have no hold to hold on you.
An', I assure you, I'll do you no wrong.
Instrumental close.
