SEDUCTI0N OF THE INNOCENT (from the kiss CD "CARNIVAL OF SOULS")                                    
------------------------

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com

Tuned down 1/2-step to Eb


Comments: During Riff 1 the bass has an effect that gives a sliding 
quality. This can be approximated by sliding into each note from the low F. 
All bends are approximately a half-step and are exectuted very slowly.

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

Seduction of the innocent
Simmons, Van Zen

[Intro: Rhy. fig 1]

[Rhy. fig 1]
He always wears his bible belt 
The collar under his head 
It's like a noose around his neck 

His sandaled feet don't touch the ground 
Ears don't hear a sound 
Seduction Of The Innocent 

[Rhy. fig 2]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason 
Need a reason to cry 
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons 
[Rhy. fig 3]
And don't know why 

Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again 
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin? 

[Rhy. fig 1]
The padre looks well fed 
Remember what the good book said 
Vultures circle overhead 

Whatever gets you through the night 
Friends sing to clear your mind 
Seduction Of The Innocent 

[Rhy. fig 2]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason 
Need a reason to cry 
You kiss the hand of a man for all seasons 
[Rhy. fig 3]
And don't know why 

[Rhy. fig 1]
[Rhy. fig 4]

[Rhy. fig 2]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason 
Need a reason to cry 
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons 
[Rhy. fig 3]
And don't know why 

Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again 
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
