The Emptiest Arms in the World
By Merle Haggard
CF
I only call when I've had that one too many
CG7
And my lonely room goes spinning in a whirl
CF
And tonight I couldn't even find my pillow
CG7C
I've got the emptiest arms in the world
F
I no longer wear the gold band on my finger
CG7
And from time to time I find myself a girl
CF
But when I realize that she's not you I'm holding
CG7C
I've got the emptiest arms in the world
G7C
My empty arms won't ever hold you close again
And these cheap hotels they're like a
G7
Prison cell that keeps closing in
CF
Cause you alone can fill this lonely feeling
CG7C
Of the emptiest arms in the world
F
And you alone can fill this empty feeling
CG7C
Of the emptiest arms in the world
