Tuned down a whole step to D

Comments: There is not a bass-player in sight on this song. This stuff is
all done by a synthbass which is probably sequenced. As a bassline, it
sucks. The song however, more than makes up for it (when you listen to the
song you don¥t really get annoyed by the bass since the guitar riffs are
pretty cool). Should you want to play this on a regular bass, tune down to
D and play every eight-note staccato. No exceptions.

LET¥S PUT THE X IN SEX
Paul Stanley, Desmond Child

[Intro: Guitar and drums only]

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)

[Rhy. Fig 1] 
I got a letter just the other day 
She sent a picture, but she didn't sign her name 
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She wore high heels and a little black lace 
I knew her body, but I couldn't see her face 

[Rhy. Fig 3]
She didn't leave a number, not an address or a clue 
But something in that photograph reminded me of you

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye

[Guitar and drums only]

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
I got a call in the middle of the night 
Heavy breathin' never sounded quite so nice 
She said "Oh yeah, I wish that I was there" 
I asked who was calling, but she wasn't playing fair 

[Rhy. Fig 3]
Sometimes you gotta suffer for the pleasure that you seek 
You're beggin' for an eyeful but you only get a peek

[Rhy. Fig 2]
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye

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

[Guitar and drums only]
Oh yeah (Yeah!)

[Rhy. Fig 1]
I heard somebody knockin' so I opened up the door 
She wore a hat, shades, and a trench coat 
Wasn't wearin' that much more 
[Rhy. Fig 4]
She said she knew my secrets but I didn't have a clue 
Then I saw those black lace panties and I knew that it was you

[Rhy. Fig 2]
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Love's like a muscle and you make me wanna flex 
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Baby, let's put the X in sex 
Keep it undercover, baby let me be your private eye
