EASY AS IT SEEMS
[Bass Intro]
[Rhythm Fig. 1]
[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.1]
I've been your lover for too many years, I'm through with wastin' my time
You been out runnin' without any fear, tell me why, I wanna know the reason why
[Rhythm Fig. 1] & [Rhythm Fig. 1a](2x)
(It's easy as it seems) 'Cause it's easy as it seems
[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.1]
I keep on hearin' your road never bends, you ain't committin' no crime
I hear you're sleepin' with one of my friends, tell me why
I wanna know the reason why
[Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end.1] & [Rhythm Fig. 3a w/end.1]
(It's easy as it seems) 'Cause it's easy as it seems
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away
[Rhythm Fig. 1a](2x)
[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.1]
I played your boyfriend for too many years, you know it's drivin' me wild
I've seen you cryin' without any tears, like a child
You wonder all the reasons why
[Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end.1] & [Rhythm Fig. 3a w/end.1]
(It's easy as it seems) And it's easy as it seems
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away
[Solo] w/[Rhythm Fig. 1a](4x)
[Rhythm Fig. 4]
If it takes forever, I don't mind, if it takes forever, I've got time
All that I wanna know, can you lay it on the line
'Cause if it takes forever, you know I'm gonna find out
[Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end.2] & [Rhythm Fig. 3a w/end.2]
(It's easy as it seems) Yeah it's easy as it seems
When you're walkin' out on your dreams, you just walk away, walk away
[Rhythm Fig. 1] & [Rhythm Fig. 1a](Until Fade)
(It's easy as it seems) Oh it's easy (easy), easy as it seems
Yeah it's easy (easy), oh it's easy as it seems
Oh it's easy (easy), oh it's easy as it seems
Yeah it's easy (easy), easy as it seems... (to fade)
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.
