SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT (from the KISS album "CARNIVAL OF SOULS")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark (emil@kisstabs.com)
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: The solos are like night and day. The first is relatively easy even if
you´re a beginner on slide. The second starts out really revved up, sixteenth-not
e triplets flying all over the place. Towards the end it settles into a more melo
dic thing again which follows the chords nicely. At the end I have just listed th
e Outro fills without specifying exactly where they occur.
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

Seduction of the innocent
Simmons, Van Zen
[Intro: Riff 1a]
[Riff 1a & 1c]
He always wears his bible belt
The collar under his head
It's like a noose around his neck
His sandaled feet don't touch the ground
Ears don't hear a sound
Seduction Of The Innocent
[Riff 1c]
[Riff 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why
[Riff 3a & 3b with Fill 1 on last bar]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin?
[Riff 1a & 1c]
The padre looks well fed
Remember what the good book said
Vultures circle overhead
Whatever gets you through the night
Friends sing to clear your mind
Seduction Of The Innocent
[Riff 1c]
[Riff 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of a man for all seasons
And don't know why
[Riff 3a & 3b]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
[Solo 1 over Riff 1a]
[Solo 2 over Riff 4a & 4b]
[Riff 2a & 2b]
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
And don't know why
[Riff 3a & 3b]
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?

[Riff 1a & 1c with Outro fills]
