In My Loving Arms

from The Shed Sessions Vol. II by John D Revelator

/

lyrics

C
When the yellow yellowhammer yells
F
“A little bit of butter” and the
C G
Swallow’s swooping over the farm
C
Takes me back to the time
F
When I’d love on my mind
Em G C
And you in my loving arms

E7 F
For every bird that sings, a million insect wings
E7 F
supplement the pastoral scene
E7 F
And like the buzzy bees up in the chestnut trees,
Dm G
I’m working for my summer queen

C
So let the little yella fella
F
get a little less cheddar
C G
Let the swallow birrell back to the barn
C F
If it means that we’re together in the sunny summer weather
Em G C
With you in my loving arms


C
Just you & me together
F
by the banks of the river
C G
with birds and the flowers of May
C
Now theres tears in my eyes,
F
never understood why
Em G C
We had to fly separate ways
E7 F
Like the following June it was over too soon
E7 F
And now the swallow swoops in sunnier climes
E7 F
But like that little brown bunting I just sit in the country
Dm G
And dream of better times

Solo – 2x verse (c major scale)


E7 F
Now that swallows swooping over some water hole
E7 F
Where the antelope & buffalo browse
E7 F
And I wonder if you’re thinking of me at all
Dm G
And who you’re holding now

C
So let that little yella fella
F
get a little less cheddar
C G
Let the swallow birrell back to the barn
C
An I’ll dream a dream of you
F
And all the things we could do
Em G C
When I hold you in my loving arms

C
Yeah let that little yella fella
F
Get a little less cheddar
C G
Let the swallow birrell back to the barn
C
If it means that we’re together
F
In the sunny summer weather
Em G C
With you in my loving arms
Em G C
With you in my loving arms
Em G C G C
With you in my loving arms
