OPEN ARMS
By Steve Perry & Jonathan Cain
Journey
Key: D


-3  6 -6* -5-3  -3   -3   6  5*  -5
Ly-ing be-side you, here in the dark, 
-5    5*  -5    4*   -3  -2*   -4
Feel-ing your heart beat with mine
-3   6  -6*  -5   -3    -3   6  -6*  -5
Soft-ly you whis-per, you're so sin-cere, 
-5    5*   -5  4*  -3 4*  4*-4
how could our love be so blind
6    6     6 -5  6   -4  6   -6* 6-5 -5 -4  
We sailed on to-geth-er, we drift-ed a-part, 
5*   -5   -5  5* -5 -5-4 4*-4 
and here you are by  my  side

Chorus:

-5 -6* 7  -7 -6* -7  -6* -7 -8  -8-7
So now I come to you with o-pen arms, 
-7    7 -6*  6    -5  -7    7  -6*-6*6-5
Noth-ing to hide, be-lieve what I  say
-5  -7 -7 -7  -5 -7 -8  -8-7
So here I am with o-pen arms, 
-7   7  -6*  6  -6*   -7   -7    7  -6*6-5   
Hop-ing you see what your love means to me
-5 5*  -5
O-pen arms

|-3 6 -6*|-5 -3…|-3 6 5*|-5……|-5 5* -5 |
|4* -3 -2*…|-4……|
 
Living without you, living alone, 
this empty house seems to cold
Wanting to hold you, wanting you near, 
how much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back, 
turned night into day, I need you to stay

chorus

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
