I just died in your arms tonight-The Cutting Crew
Tabbed by Igi”Igikorn”Manaloto
April 7, 2007
standard tuning

I could barely hear the guitar but still, I was able to tab a few of those
Uhm, the numbers on top denote when the tabs were actually played
Example: 0:30 would mean that the tab was played on the 30th second of the song.
Listen to the song carefully to get the timing...
I'll be providing another video for this one in youtube. Just search for the title of
song.

Enjoy and long live The 80’s! For the chords, I have my own which I use but I would
suggest that you use the 5 star chord section(tab) of this same song. Actually, the song
an electric guitar which is plucked. You could sometimes hear strumming but very seldom.
main instrument used was the organ or keyboard which makes it harder for the guitars to heard..

There, the ones next to this are already adlib but I think that the part uses the first
frets and slides down from the highest string to the thickest one.(it’s like an octave,
lower and lower.)

If you guys know anymore or can add up to this piece, I would really appreciate it cause
song is really wonderful. Please! Add up! Help me complete the piece!

[Verse 2] (Bm G A F#)
Is there any just cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list

She's loving by proxy, no give and all take,
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times
