Die In Your Arms chords by Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum
(Dave Pirner)







A simple enough song, apart from the string sections :) In the verse C, hammer on
G to keep things interesting.


Intro

high F (8th fret for a couple of bars)


Verse

C                                  F           C
My dad must have been drinking the night I was conceived
C
A flailing lost delirious sperm
  F                 C
A seaman lost at sea
        F                                C
But someway, somehow I found you and the journey has been long
F                                                C
A troubled somber singer who had finally found a song

Chorus

F                        C
And I don't wanna do you no harm
F      C   F  C  F                C
Yes I just wanna die in your arms

Verse

The bitter fighting cold froze the waves within their tracks
Trapped beneath the ice never to come back
The skaters whirled, and twirled, and glided effortless in motion
Laughing in their blissful dance upon the frozen ocean

Instrumental

F        G        Am        F
C        G        Am

G
Am I the only one that this happens to
F
Does this mother know no other
G                                                F
Well my mother taught me enough about love to know you are my lover

Verse

The ice cracked and crackled
And from it steam would rise
Her wings spread far and wide had whisked away the sky
And though I cannot see her now I still look everyplace
Washed upon the shore and saved by your humbling grace

Chorus

And I don't wanna do you no harm
Yes, I just wanna die in your arms

Instrumental

F        G        Am        F
C        G        Am
