This is just a bluesy love song I was goofing around with tonight. Wish I could find a way to write a love song with Leeds in it.  smile

[D]Why don’t [A]you just keep [Bm]still


[G]You just gotta dis[A]tract my [D]mind


[D]Like all the [A]times you [Bm]will


[G]Go off [A]leave me be[D]hind [A]


[D]You got [A]all your ad[Bm]mirers


[G]I’m just [A]one of the [D]throng


[D]But I can’t [A]still my de[Bm]sires


[G]Even when you [A]treat me [D]wrong [D7]


[G]You know I can’t keep my [D]eyes off you


[F#]Weapons in your arsenal of [Bm]love


[G]Strategic strikes the [D]ones I likes


[G]And can’t stop [A]thinking [D]of [A]


[D]You know I’m [A]yours for the [Bm]taking


I’ll [G]always be a [A]fool for [D]you


[D]But what I’d [A]rather be [Bm]making


[G]To you is just a[A]nother [D]tool [A]


[D]Baby I’ll [A]love to be your [Bm]hammer



[G]I’d love to be your [A]socket [D]set


But [D]when you come [A]close I [Bm]stammer


So you [G]haven’t [A]picked me [D]yet [D7]


[G]You know I can’t keep my [D]eyes off you


[F#]Weapons in your arsenal of [Bm]love


[G]Strategic strikes the [D]ones I likes


[G]And can’t stop [A]thinking [D]of [D7]

[Bm]Put me out of my [F#]misery


[G] My misery of [D]love


[Bm]Shoot me hit me [F#]just forget me


[G]If you won’t give me what I’ve been [A]dreaming [A7]of


[D]You can see [A]that I [Bm]love you


[G]See it written [A]on my [D]face


[D]Wish I could [A]just get you [Bm]out of my mind


[G]But my mind I [A]can’t [D]erase [A]


[D]I figure if I [A]give you [Bm]time enough


[G]You’ll see I’m [A]just right for [D]you


[D]Look in my [A]eyes and I’ll [Bm]quit being so tough


[G]You know [A]just what to [D]do [D7]


[G]You know I can’t keep my [D]eyes off you


[F#]Weapons in your arsenal of [Bm]love


[G]Strategic strikes the [D]ones I likes


[G]And can’t stop [A]thinking [Bm]of [A]


[G]And can’t stop [A]thinking [D]of

You've done it again jets. Another nice one.

Without music life would be a mistake.
Country music is three chords and the truth.

Re: Weapons in Your Arsenal of Love

Doesn't that about sum it up?  Good song.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Weapons in Your Arsenal of Love

noted your comment about a love song with Leeds in it. how about something to do with gardening? e.g.

we were out in the garden, sowing some seeds.
a garden in england, a garden in leeds.

that's your starter for ten, the rest i leave to you

cracking song by the way, love a bit of blues

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Weapons in Your Arsenal of Love

Nother good write Jeff smile

I wish I could read tab to get an idea of how it's played. Recording soon?

Cheers

Re: Weapons in Your Arsenal of Love

Thanks you all....Phil...I will see what I can do with the start.

Kenny...I'm waiting to get my house back to get recording again. I believe that will be this fall and I will start trying to catch up then.

BTW Kenny: TAB's are easy, at least mine are. I'm sure there are some better tab folk on chordie than me out there but here is what I'm trying to say: My intro tab is the notes for the verses I sing...since I'm not recording much I'm trying to help out on how the song sounds.

Re: Weapons in Your Arsenal of Love

Hi Jeff
Charming little riff you got there it reminded me of some tune from the past. Would be interesting to hear how you work it in with the main melody.
When I was up in Leeds they all seemed love their football team....   smile

Re: Weapons in Your Arsenal of Love

Thanks Ark. Yep, that is Leeds in a nutshell but it is also a good music city too. Leeds is one of my vacation destinations for sometime in the future, and most assuredly during football season. I saw Leeds play Spurs at Elland Road back in the late 90s, and I've been a fan ever since.
