This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: I've seen this riff tabbed out before and every time it's been

wrong. (The worst offender I've seen was the Best of KISS tab book that

is on the shelves. It doesn't even have the right key.) Now, I probably

shouldn't cast stones here because I realised I've been playing it wrong

when I tabbed it properly. Really, it's a very simple riff (and there is

really just one riff in the entire song). The trick to it is Paul's style

of playing. As I've said before, he fingers power chords using only his

first and third fingers, laying a partial barre with the third finger.

This causes him to include the major third of the chord every once in a

while. He uses the same thing here. The third finger frets everything on

the 6th fret and the first finger deals with most everything else. The

notes in parenthesis here are notes that are hit occasionally because

Paul uses the third finger (he sometimes plays single notes and sometimes

does the partial barre). Be sure to slide up from the 4th fret to the 9th

with your first finger. The solo is shared, first half is Paul, the

second is Ace.

Key:

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

b = bend (whole step)

b^ = bend (1/2 step)

b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)

pb = pre-bend

r = release-bend

t = tap with righthand finger

h = hammer-on

p = pull-off

~ = Vibrato

* = Natural Harmonic

#(#) = Trill

** = Artificial Harmonic

x = Dead notes (no pitch)

P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)

(\) = Dive w\bar

(/) = Release w\bar

Tp = Tap w\plectrum
