One of my personal favorites by Sam Beam--I’m always a fan of songs of his that have a slight feeling of menace and Arms of a Thief certainly fits the bill. Sam never plays this with block chords during live shows (or on Around the Well for that matter) but there’s enough harmonic meat in his fingerpicking that you can make a pretty good show of it. [Intro] [Verse 1] Mr. Henry and the muscle man Gave her shoes on a night there was no room to stand Like a letter in a stolen purse She was bored of her weight she was bored of her words The daughter of a soldier told the fallen priest It’s a cold cold place in the arms of a thief And reachin’ out to touch the steering wheel She said leave me alone but just don’t leave me here alright? [Chorus] Alright alright [Verse 2] Mr. Henry and another guy Gave her gold on a night that it fell from the sky And like a body when the buzzard came She was bored of her look she was bored of her name The daughter of a lawyer told the fallen priest It’s a cold cold place in the arms of a thief And dabbin’ at the arrow in her heel She said leave me alone but just don’t leave me here alright? [Chorus] Alright alright [Slide Guitar / "Nananana" Section]             [Verse 3] Mr. Henry was a dyin’ man With advice in a tongue that she didn’t understand Like the water when the sea got rough She was bored of the breeze she was bored of her luck The winner and the loser told the fallen priest It’s a cold cold place in the arms of a thief And holdin’ everything he made her steal She said leave me alone but just don’t leave me here alright? [Chorus] Alright alright [Slide Guitar / "Nananana" Section]
