ODYSSEY (from the KISS CD "THE ELDER")
--------------------

Standard tuning

Comments: Almost a musical number this but I think the melody is good.
Also, you gotta love those chords. The bass does nothing spectacular,
it just holds down the fort and outlines the chords. Dig the contrasting
descending and ascending motions in the verse and the chorus.

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

Odyssey
T. Powers

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

[Rhy. Fig 2]
>From a far off galaxy, I hear you calling me 
we are on an odyssey 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Through the realms of time and space 
In that enchanted place 
You and I come face to face 

[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1]
Once upon not yet, long ago someday 
Countless times we've met, met along the way 

[Rhy. Fig 3]
Through the luminescent night 
On beams of neon light 
You and I in winged flight 
As we cross the starry sea, powered by what we see 
Now and then, the victory 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
Once upon not yet, long ago someday 
Countless times we've met, met along the way 

[Rhy. Fig 5] (4x)

[Rhy. Fig 6]
There's a child in a sundress 
Looking at a rainy sky 
There's a place in the desert 
Where an ocean once danced by 
There's a song in the silence 
Weaving in and out of time 
We are notes in the music 
Searching for remembered rhyme 

[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1]

[Rhy. Fig 3]
On a mountain high somewhere 
Where only heroes dare 
Stand the stallion and the mare 
We have been and we shall be each other's destiny 
One another's odyssey 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
Once upon not yet, long ago someday 
Countless times we've met, met along the way 

[Rhy. Fig 7]
We've met along the way.... 

[Rhy. Fig 8]
We've met along the way

[Rhy. Fig 9]
