Johnny Thunders
You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory
So Alone (1978)

Tune up 1/4 step

D(sus42)  x 2

D                 G
It doesn't pay to try
Bm                 D(sus4)
All the smart boys know why
D                        G
It doesn't mean I didn't try
Bm                D(sus2)
I just never know why

Feel so cold and all alone                        (embarque)
'Cause baby, you're not at home
And when I'm home
Big deal, I'm still alone                         fin: D(sus42)  x 2  w/ f f♯ (r)

Feel so restless I am
Beat my head against the pole                     /f♯ f♯ f♯
Try to knock some sense
Down in my bones                                  /f f♯ 

And even though they don't show                   f♯ a 
The scars aren't so old                           ^b
And when they go                                  ^b
They let you know

      G              A             D   /
  You can't put your arms around a memory  x 3

        G < A (r)        {D(sus42)  x 2  w/ f f♯ (r)}
  Don't tryyyyyyy, don't try

You're just a bastard kid                         ^b  ^b ^b
And you got no name                               
'Cause you're living with me                      /f♯
We're one and the same                            f♯ a ^b  b a 

And even though they don't show                   ^b
They scars aren't so old                          ^f  
And when they go                                  ^f f e d
They let you know ok                              ^f f f e d \

  Refrain  x 2  fin1: x 1, (rembarque)
