Song title:     Throw You Arms Around Me
Original Album: Human Frailty

Words and Music by Mark Seymour and Hunters & Collectors
Copyright © 1986 Mushroom Music Limited
Published by Mushroom Music Publishing Pty Limited

NOTES:
This was another staple from live Crowded House shows and often appeared
as an encore. A cover, that Neil used to claim was better than the original.
See this web-site for where to find CH versions of the song.
The transcription below is from a 1987 gig at the Roxy in Los Angeles.
There are tabs of the original version (in a different key) on various
Hunters tab sites. The key used below makes it very easy to play.

The intro is played by using the standard D-shape and moving this up to the
7th and 9th fret positions to play the G and the A respectively. Enjoy!!

VERSE:
       D               G
I will come for you at night-time,
       D                   A
I will raise you from your sleep.
       D                G
I will kiss you in four places
        D                  A
As I go running along your street.
       D                      G
I will squeeze the life right out of you,
       D                           A
I will make you laugh and make you cry
            D            G
And we will never forget it
             D
And you will make me call your name
      G                    A      Asus4
And I shout it to the blue summer sky


CHORUS:
           D     G              D                            A
And we may never meet again, so shed your skin and let's get started,
             D   G           A      Asus4
And you will throw your arms around me.
         D   G           A      Asus4
You will throw your arms around me.


VERSE:
I dreamed of you at night-time
And I watched you in your sleep.
I met you in high places,
I touched your head and touched your feet.

So if you disappear from out of view,
You know I will never say goodbye.
And though I try to forget it,
You will make me call your name
And I'll shout it to the blue summer sky.


CHORUS

D  G  A
Hold  me.
D  G  A
Hold  me.


CODA:
         D   G            A     Asus4
You will throw your arms around me.
