Lyrics
Arrow Thru The Heart © 2013 Alan Falkingham
Verse 1
F Am Bb6 Bb6
She was so new to love you see
F Am Bb6 Bb6
Expecting him on bended knee
F Am Bb6 Bbm6 (Db bass)
His and her initials in an apple tree
Gdim6 (G, Bb, Db, E) F
With an ARROW THROUGH THE HEART
Verse 2
So he arrived - with hearts and flowers
Initials carved - they gazed for hours
So deep in love - then it turned sour
With an ARROW THROUGH THE HEART ....She thought it was
CHORUS
C Bb F
Love, thought it was real............But he only
C Bb F
Fooled her from the start.... How can she
C Bb F
give herself to anyone
Gdim6 F
With an ARROW THROUGH THE HEART
Gdim6 F
With an ARROW THROUGH THE HEART
INSTRUMENTAL (verse)
Verse 3
She never knew - the reason why
He never said - or even tried
It's tough to live - but even harder to die
With an ARROW THROUGH THE HEART ....... She thought this was
CHORUS
Verse 4 (quieter)
Those arrows came with poisoned tips
He kissed her wounds, with blood red lips
Her last caress, was a killer kiss
An ARROW THROUGH THE HEART
A Poisoned ARROW THROUGH THE HEART
A Poisoned ARROW THROUGH THE HEART
