------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Special Notes: During the strumming parts of the interlude I believe KISS
uses a Cadd9 before they change to the D chord, but I like the way the G
chord sounds better. So try it out both ways and pick your fave! Also the
Unplugged version might be different from the Hotter Than Hell version so if
it is you'll have to adjust timing, etc...

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official KISS tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
