HEART OF CHROME (from the KISS CD "REVENGE")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Another good song. Pretty straight-forward rock n¥ roll with some
Spanish/Arabian flavors thrown in for good measure. Some decent fills too.
During the solo there is a D-note that is manipulated by turning on a mean
distorsion while flicking the wah-wah pedal.
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

[Rhy. Fig 1a and 1b]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
You better listen up, since you screwed me you¥ve been on my mind
Yeah, til the day we met...I was cruisin, I was doing fine
But now my world¥s gone crazy and I think about you all the time
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I¥m gonna tell it to you baby
It ain¥t like it was
There¥ll be no ifs, ands or maybes
Only justice because...
[Rhy. Fig 1a and 1b]
Hey, baby
(I...got an angry soul - I got a broken home)
I¥m gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control - you gotta a heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar
(And now you¥re gonna see - that since you messed with me)
I¥m gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You¥ll pay eternally - for your heart of chrome)
Your heart of chrome
[Rhy. Fig 2 with Riff 1]
Yeah, you really made a fool out of me
Everybody knew you used me, but I was just too blind to see
You taped our sexy conversations and you sold them to the BBC
[Rhy. Fig 3 with Riff 2]
You told me people can¥t be trusted
You gotta watch the things they do
But if you still believe in justice
I¥m gonna give it to you...give it to you, ooh
[Rhy. Fig 1a and 1b]
Hey, baby
(I...got an angry soul - I got a broken home)
I¥m gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control - you gotta a heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar
(And now you¥re gonna see - that since you messed with me)
I¥m gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You¥ll pay eternally - for your heart of chrome)
Your heart of chrome
[Rhy. Fig 4a and 4b]
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 5]
[Rhy. Fig 6]
You told me lies about all that you feel
I realize now that nothing was real
You took everything you could beg, borrow, steal
[Rhy. Fig 7 with Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 1a and 1b with Riff 4]
Hey, baby
(I...got an angry soul - I got a broken home)
I¥m gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(I got no self-control - you gotta a heart of chrome)
Yeah, sugar
(And now you¥re gonna see - that since you messed with me)
I¥m gonna stick it in your heart of chrome
(You¥ll pay eternally - for your heart of chrome)
Your heart of chrome
