KISS - "watchin" Tablature

WATCHIN' YOU (from the KISS-LP "HOTTER THAN HELL")
------------

transcribed by Mark Perillo (mark@kisstabs.com)

Eb Tuning

Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
h^ = hammer-on
p^ = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Muted String (Palm Muting)


One of the BEST songs off of Hotter Than Hell. Ace throws in some unusal
licks for his style of playing. Most notably his use of decending one
string pull offs.. There are some nice harmony lines(ala Detroit Rock City
and Shout It Out Loud) thrown in to break up the monotony of the riffs...
Enjoy!

WATCHIN' YOU - Gene Simmons

[Riff 1] (4x)
[Riff 2] (2x)

[Rhythm Fig.1 w/Riff 2.]
Livin' as you do and I'm watchin' you
And you don't really know a-just what to do

[Rhythm Fig. 2]
You don't really know
You don't really know
What to do
[Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end. 1] (2x)

[Rhythm Fig.1 w/Riff 2.]
And I'm standin' here not quite aware
And I'm tryin' baby, tryin' not to stare


[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' you
