transcribed by Mark Perillo (mark@kisstabs.com)

Eb Tuning

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
r^ = release-bend half-step
h^ = hammer-on
p^ = pull-off
~ = Vibrato

Another forgotten song off of Alive II. Bob Kulick plays on this one, as he does
on ALL new
tracks on Alive II except Rocket Ride. Fairly standard Paul rhythm work, and Bob
overplays a
bit here, but it works just fine. Enjoy!

LARGER THAN LIFE - Gene Simmons

[Rhythm Fig. 1]
[Rhythm Fig. 2] (2x) w/ [Riff. 1]

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
If you want to make believe
There's nothing up my sleeve
I'm a man as man can be
As you can plainly see
Don't want to see no tears
Eliminate your fears
When you think you've seen it all, baby

[Rhythm Fig. 4]
You can't believe your eyes, what you heard weren't lies
My love is too much to hold, too much to hold
Much to much

[Rhythm Fig. 2] (2x)

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
I'm someone you can't fight
I'm plain in size
You can't believe your eyes
What you heard were not lies
I'm too much to hold
I can't be bought or sold
I'm far more than a man
I'm gonna make you understand
I'm larger than a life size man

[Rhythm Fig. 4]
And you can't believe your eyes, what you heard weren't lies
My love is too much to hold, too much to hold

[Rhythm Fig. 5]
My love is larger than life, ooh larger than life
My love is larger than life, larger than life
My love is too much to hold, it can't be sold, oh no

[Solo] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 2] (4x)

[Rhythm Fig. 4]
You can't believe your eyes, what you heard weren't lies
My love is too much to hold, too much to hold

[Rhythm Fig. 5]
My love is larger than life, larger than life
My love is larger than life, larger than life
My love is too much to hold, it can't be sold, oh no
I'm larger than a life size man

[Rhythm Fig. 2] (2x) w/ [Riff. 2]

[Rhythm Fig. 5a] w/ [Riff. 3]
My love is larger than life, larger than life
My love is larger than life, ooh larger than life
My love is too much to hold, it can't be sold, oh no
