Title  : Right Here In My Arms
Artist : HIM
Album  : Razorblade Romance

Tabbed by   : Michael Hippe
Re-tabbed by : Graham Bucci

Standard tuning (E A D g b e)

~ - hold/let ring



The intro I have included is not right. It sounds right, but
the way it is actually played did not sound right to me so
I just figured out a different way to play it that sounds
respectable and is easy to play. I will include both
versions but I can^Òt get the correct one to sound right.

The way I have tabbed this it kind of makes it so you need
two guitars, one to play the chords and one to play the
intro in the background.


I know not all the notes are shown in each of the chord
but that is simply because you only play the strings with
numbers and don^Òt play all the way through.


This is the right way to play the intro...
[use a set chord and let notes ring]
e|-----------7--|-----------7--|
b|-----0--------|-----0--------|
g|--------4-----|--------5-----|
D|--7-----------|--7-----------|


This is my version...

Intro
[set Am chord]
e|--------------|
b|-----0--1-----|
g|--2--------2--|
D|--------------| [x8]
A|--------------|
E|--------------|
there is a pick-slide on the sixth or seventh repetition
but you would have to get a second guitar to do the slide
since the intro is played 8 times continuously.

Pre-Verse
[intro continues to play in background]
  Am Cm Gm E  Am
e|-----------------------|
b|-----------------------|
g|--2~--5~------1~--2~~--|
D|--2~--5~--5~--2~--2~~--|
A|--0~--3~--5~--2~--0~~--| [just play this once]
E|----------3~-----------|

then there is a simple pick-slide into the verse. The
keyboard plays a little riff at the end of each line of
vocal, like after -down on earth- and -it hurts.-
When Ville begins the third line (-All her wishes...-) the
intro starts to play in the background until the pre-chorus

Verse
  Am Cm Gm E
e|--------------|
b|--------------|
g|--2--5-----1--|
D|--2--5--5--2--|
A|--0--3--5--2--|
E|--------3-----|

Pre-Chorus
  Am E F
e|-----------|
b|-----------|
g|--2--1-----|
D|--2--2--3--|
A|--0--2--3--|
E|--------1--|

[start the intro again for the chorus]

Chorus
  Am Cm Gm E F
e|--0--0--0--0--1--|
b|--0--0--0--0--1--|
g|--2--5--3--1--2--|
D|--2--5--5--2--3--|
A|--0--3--5--2--3--|
E|--0--0--3--0--1--|
[there is a pick-slide leading back into each verse]

in the second verse the intro is played through the entire
thing, from start to finish.

The solo is kind of impossible to play because in the
recorded version, they recorded Linde fooling around with
an A minor pentatonic and then they played it backwards,
so if you really want to play it you can figure it out yourself.

This song can also be played using bar chord but that
involves a lot more hand movement that I am too lazy to do.
