KILLER (from the KISS CD "CREATURES OF THE NIGHT")

Standard tuning

Comments: The bass plays a central role in this song. The Peter Gunn-type
riff during the verse contrasts nicely with the static E's played by the 
guitar and the little minor pentatonic motif in the pre-chorus, with a 
serious b7 to create tension, just plain rocks.

\    = slide down
b    = bend (whole step)
b^   = bend (1/2 step)

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)

KILLER
Gene Simmons, Vinnie Vincent

[Intro: guitar only]

Her love is a gun, her love is a blade
She's a killer
Bitch is insane, she deals in pain
She's a killer
[Riff 1]

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Ooh, she'll cut you clean
Then she'll watch you bleed 
So obscene, she's what I need
She loves to hear me scream, yeah

[Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)
Black lace, stiletto heels
She's a killer
Crack the whip, submission trip
She's a killer

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Ooh, cat in heat
Mistress of deceit
Nerves of steel, her next meal
She's searching for the meat

[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1]
She's a killer, stone cold killer
Killer, stone cold killer

[Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)
Watch out for your jugular vein
She's a killer
Animal with a twisted brain
She's a killer

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Ooh, she guarantees
You'll suffer with desire
Wicked queen, night machine
She'll make you walk through fire

[Rhy. Fig 4]
Killer, run for your life
Killer, will she bite
Killer, run for your life
Killer, will she bite off your head tonight

[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 2]
Killer, stone cold killer
She's a killer, stone cold killer

[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 3]
Killer, stone cold killer
She's a killer, stone cold killer

[Solo over Rhy. Fig 5]
[Rhy. Fig 6]

[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1] 
She's a killer
She's a killer
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 2]
Stone cold killer
She's a killer
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1]
Stone cold killer
She's a killer...
[Rhy. Fig 7]
