IT NEVER GOES AWAY (from the KISS album "CARNIVAL OF SOULS")
-------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark (emil@kisstabs.com)
Drop-D tuning down 1/2-step
Comments: Slow tempo, plenty of flatted fifths and seconds and half-step bends ga
lore. Pretty heavy I think. No real solo on this one just a pretty cool open-stri
ng pedal-type thing played by both guitars. Easy stuff all the way through.

b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)

It never goes away
Stanley, Kulick, Cuomo
[Intro: Alternate Riff 1a & 1b, panning in ther stereo field]
[Riff 2a & 2b]
Want it
You can have it
Come and take it
I don't need it
Power and possessions
Never quiet your obsessions
[Riff 3a with Fill 1]
Outside, we search for something
[Riff 3a]
Inside, we still have nothing
[Riff 2a &2b]
People deep in trouble
Let their money run for double
[Riff 3a with Fill 1]
Outside, they search for something
[Riff 3b]
Inside, they still have nothing
It never ends
[Riff 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
[Riff 5]
[Riff 2a & 2b]
Heartless rich and greedy
Watch the churches rape the needy
[Riff 3a]
While we pray for salvation
[Riff 3b]
Preachers yield to temptation
It never ends
[Riff 4a & 4bn]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
[Riff 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
[Riff 5]
[Riff 6a & 6b]
[Riff 7]
[Riff 8a & 8b]
Blinded believers and doomsday deceivers
Are driving you out of your head
Look in the mirror, the answer is near
Though your sanity hangs by a thread
[Riff 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even I could
And even I would
It never goes away
[Riff 4a & 4b]
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can say
And even if I could
And even if I would
It never goes away
[Riff 5]
[Fill 2]
