The Emptiest Arms in the World
By Merle Haggard
 
C                                      F
I only call when I've had that one too many
       C                              G7
And my lonely room goes spinning in a whirl
    C                               F
And tonight I couldn't even find my pillow
             C        G7          C
I've got the emptiest arms in the world
 
                                     F
I no longer wear the gold band on my finger
         C                            G7
And from time to time I find myself a girl
    C                                     F
But when I realize that she's not you I'm holding
             C        G7          C
I've got the emptiest arms in the world
 
         G7                       C
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
      C                              F
Cause you alone can fill this lonely feeling 
       C        G7          C
Of the emptiest arms in the world
     
                                  F
And you alone can fill this empty feeling 
       C        G7          C
Of the emptiest arms in the world
