              Intro: G
 
         G            F       C      C C/B Am 
Like the wings stolen from an angel 
     G                     D     
Like pebbles gone from the roads 
G      F    C           Am 
Like a dove caught in a storm 
  G          D      C C/B Am  G
Tonight he's in the Lord's    Arms 
(and so on...)
The wind it blew straight through us 
And whispered to me in tongues 
I was told I was wrong 
Tonight he would be in the Lord's Arms 
Tonight he is in the Lord's Arms 
(bridge:play the chords of the verse)
So I drinked this wine to him 
With each glass of memory 
He left with his crown of thornes 
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms 
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms 
Tonight he's in the Lord's Arms
