Needle in your Arm
I wrote this earlier in the year in Sri Lanka – not a needle and definitely not a glacier in sight so I’ve no idea where the lyric came from. Short and sweet but with a nice chord structure (I feel) and set off beautifully by Jon Garvey’s restrained (detuned, he calls it) tenor sax.
RAK 04 Needle in your Arm
(Jon Garvey Tenor Sax)
G+ E B7
Her colour is blue like glacial ice
A G°
If she decides you’re through, she won’t think twice
C#m G# A
But her love is so strong, it gets you hooked in
C9 B9 G+ C#m
Just like a needle in the arm
All you need is an inch of water to drown
All it takes is one pinch of her love to keep you coming round
But her love is so strong, it gets you hooked in
C9 B9 G+ E
Just like a needle in the arm
Break
G# A G# A
When you know you’re addicted, you might start to plead
G+ E G+ E
That just makes her vindictive, she wants to see you bleed
G# A G# A
But when she’s done messing with you mind
A# B B+
You know that she’ll shake you, then she’ll break you, take you up to the sublime
You may not be religious, perhaps that’s just as well
She can take you to heaven, you know she can take you to hell
But her love is so strong, it gets you hooked in
Just like a needle in the arm C#m)
Instrumental verse (E)
Break
Repeat verse 3 to C#m endings
Then repeat last line to E ending.
