Willie Nelson and The Boys - Can I Sleep In Your Arms? (Episode One) chords
Start Jamming...
For a long time, you know, you guys just sit around and looked at the drums and the piano and the guitars.
I knew one day y'all probably sit down and start playing and sure enough.
Yeah, you never pushed us into it.
No, no, you just put [E] it out there.
[D] [E] [A]
[E]
When I was young you were gone a lot and I figured the one thing that would be able to bring us together was if I
learned how to play real well.
And then we could go out and be on the road together and I could be around you more.
Mike and I started recording and playing together when we were young.
We'd go in that back room in Maui.
I remember the first time we played together
I was on drums you were on the guitar and we felt like we were playing music.
It was like the kinks or something and we were just going
doo doo bah doo doo bah.
And my mom was like, oh and she called dad because he was on the road and she's like, hey, listen to this.
They don't suck, you know.
They're making music.
I can tolerate it.
Listen.
Y'all ready?
Try one.
One, two, three, four, one.
Can I sleep in your [B] arms [E] tonight, lady?
It's so cold, lying here [B] all alone.
[E] And I have no hold to [A] hold on you.
And I [B] assure [F#m] you [B] I'll do you no [E] wrong.
I don't know why, but the [B] one I [E]
[A] [E] need
Left me lonely and cold [B] and so weak.
[F#] And [E] I need someone's arms there [A] to hold me
Until [F#]
[F#m] I'm strong enough to get back on [E] my [E] feet.
So can I sleep [B] in your arms [E]
tonight, lady?
It's so cold, lying here [B]
all [F#m] alone.
[B]
[E] And I have no hold to [A] hold on you.
[E] And I assure [B] you I'll do [E] you no wrong.

[B] [A] [F#m]
[E] I don't know why, [B] but the one that I love
[E] Left me lonely and cold [D] [F#] and [B] so weak.
[E] And I need someone's arms [A] there to hold me
[Bm] Until I'm [F#m] strong [B] enough to get back [E] on my [A] [E] feet.
So can I sleep [B] in your arms [E] tonight, lady?
It's so cold, lying [B] here all alone.
[G#] [E] And I need someone's [A] arms to hold me.
And [B] I assure [Em] you I'll do [B] you no wrong.
