Standard tuning

Comments: Solid stuff this. The verse is basically quarter-notes with a few
sixteenths and eights thrown in to make it rhythmically interesting. A few
Gene-isms in the bridge and your home.

HELL OR HIGH WATER
Gene Simmons, Bruce Kulick

[Intro: Guitar only]
[Rhy. Fig 1]

[Rhy. Fig 2]
Here I am, all alone, been two days since you've been gone 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Three a.m., wide awake, yeah I'm lonely, and I can't take it 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
You win a few, you lose a few, but I can't help missing you 
Can't sleep at night, ain't feelin' right, but I'm gonna get to you 

[Rhy. Fig 5] (3x) 
Come hell or high water - I'm gonna love you 
Come hell or high water - gonna hold you 
Come hell or high water - wrap my arms around you 
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Come hell or high water 

[Rhy. Fig 3] (2x)
Now you're gone, hurt so bad, feelings I have never had 
Been so long since you've been mine, now I'm wound in the lost and found 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
And there you stand, now I know, I'm never gonna let you go 
Ain't foolin' around, no, no, gonna make every minute count 

[Rhy. Fig 5] 
Come hell or high water - I'm gonna love you 
[Rhy. Fig 7]
Come hell or high water - gonna hold you 
[Rhy. Fig 5]
Come hell or high water - wrap my arms around you 
[Rhy. Fig 8]
Come hell or high water 
Yeah I'm gonna get to you 

[Rhy. Fig 9]
Gonna love you, hold you, wrap my arms around you 
Baby don't doubt it, ain't no doubt about it 

[Rhy. Fig 5] (3x)
[Rhy. Fig 6]

[Rhy. Fig 5] (3x)
I'm gonna love you - come hell or high water 
Gonna hold you - come hell or high water 
Wrap my arms around you - come hell or high water 
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Yeah 

[Rhy. Fig 5] (4x)
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water 
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water 
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water 
Come hell or high water - come hell or high water 
Yeah!
