[Verse 1]
C
I've seen El Paso and
    F          C
the sky was on fire
C
Lost a night in Juarez
  F         C
a couple of times
C
Danced with a cowboy on
  F        C
a straight tequila high
C                               F C
I wish I was in his arms tonight

[Verse 2]
C
I've been a rolling stone,
    F      C
the tumbleweed
C                            F
Waiting for the right one to come
     C
find me
C                        F      C
But the wrong one always set me free
C                                F C
I wish I was in his arms tonight

How to play In His Arms: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for In His Arms by Jack Ingram ft. Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

In His Arms by Jack Ingram ft. Miranda Lambert, Jon Randall is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 3 chords in all: C, F and G.

Listen for F – C – G – F (IV – I – V – IV in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – doh – soh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes A, D, E (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
