DIRTY LIVIN' - Peter Criss, Vini Poncia, Stan Penridge
[Rhythm Fig. 1]w/[Riff. 1]
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
I can't get enough of what I need
People all around me lettin' me bleed
Waitin' for the darkness to blind the heat
I make my livin' out on the streets
[Rhythm Fig. 3]
Dirty livin', ahh, dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Flashin' lights keep runnin' through my brain
Someone find the doctor to ease all the pain
Traffic in the city is burnin' me out
She makes me wanna jump up and shout
[Rhythm Fig. 3a]
Dirty livin', ahh, dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
No more, no more
[Solo] w/[Rhythm Fig. 4]
I've gotta get away
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
Ahh, dirty livin'
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Ain't my out of town is doin' tonight
Mother, sister, brother are lyin' uptight
I can hear the jukebox poundin' out loud
I take my fury out on the crowd
[Rhythm Fig. 3a]
Dirty livin', ahh, dirty livin'
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
I can't wait any longer to set myself free, ahh
No, no, no, no
[Rhythm Fig. 5] w/[Riff. 2]
I've gotta get away
[Rhythm Fig. 6]w/[Riff. 3] & [Riff. 4]
Dirty livin', dirty livin'
It's gettin' to me, it's gettin' to me
[Rhythm Fig. 6]w/[Riff. 3] & [Riff. 5]
I can't wait, I can't wait
[Rhythm Fig. 7] w/[Riff. 3]
Dirty livin', dirty livin', yeah
Why don't you set me free
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.
