Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
                 E
And surrender to me (Sha la, la)

And love me peacefully (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)
C#m                              
Use your arms for loving me
F#m                             E 
Baby, that's the way it's gotta be (Ooh)



[Verse 1]

      G#m                 A           
There ain't no reason for you to declare
B                   E         
War on the one that loves you so
      G#                   A                     
So forget the other boys because my love is real
     B              E          
Come off your battlefield



[Chorus]

              C#m              
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)

And love me peacefully (Sha la, la)
              C#m               
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
                  E            
And love me tenderly (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)
         C#m                    
Use your arms to hold me tight
F#m                          E   
Baby, I don't wanna fight no more (Ooh)


[Verse 2]

    G#m                      A                               
The weapons you're using are hurtin' me bad
      B                     E  
But someday you're going to see
G#m                                 A                         
That my love for you baby, is the truest you've ever had
  B                               E                           
A Soldier of Love, that's hard to be



[Chorus]

              C#m               
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
                    E           
And love me peacefully (Sha la, la)
              C#m               
Lay down your arms (Soldier of love)
                 E             
And surrender to me (Sha la, la) yeah (Sha la la)
         C#m                        
Use your arms to squeeze, and 
F#                             E
Please 'cause I'm the one that loves you so


[Outro]

E                        
(Yeah, soldier of love) 
A                   E
Baby, lay down your arms
E
