Standard tuning

Comments: The bass follow the guitar around in this one. No cool fills, no
patented Gene slides (almost) and no high register riffing. Pretty boring
bass if you ask me but still a pretty good song.

THIEF IN THE NIGHT
Gene Simmons, M. Weissman

[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]

[Rhy. Fig 5]
Far off in the distance, a shape in the night, alright 
On a mission of mercy, if the price is right 
He tries to possess her and she bites 

[Rhy. Fig 6]
It's a ritual slaying, but the tables are turned, oh no 
And now he's prayin', but it's his turn to burn 

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart 
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark 

[Rhy. Fig 5]
In a hotel chamber, on a cryptic note 
'Cos where there's fire, there's gotta be smoke, oh no 
Footsteps in the twilight, and red nails 'round his throat 

[Rhy. Fig 6]
It's a ritual slaying, without strings attached, oh no 
And now he's praying, but there's no turning back 

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart 
Like a thief in the night 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark 
Like a thief in the night - alright, alright 

[Rhy. Fig 7]

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Like a thief in the night - she breaks into his heart 
Like a thief in the night - alright, alright 
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Like a thief in the night - she never leaves her mark 
Like a thief in the night 

[Rhy. Fig 1] (repeat and fade)
Like a thief in the night 
Like a thief in the night 
Like a thief in the night 
Like a thief in the night
