I Still Love You KISS

Standard tuning
Comments: A much-requested song this, both for guitar and bass. And it's a
good one. There are some beautiful dissonances here, especially in Rhy.
Fig 5 and Rhy. Fig 7. These have tended to be overlooked in other tabs on
the net as has the fact that there are two guitars playing during the pre-
chorus. I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that Paul did this solo.
There are a few things here that showed up in his lead playing on his solo
album. And, of course, that wide vibrato. As per request I've put the chord
names over the arpeggiated clean parts. Don't know how much that helps in
this case though. The chords are easy but tend to get some ugly names. To
name them I've discounted the apparent root notes played by the bass so
that the names reflect only what is played by the guitar (since that is the
reason for putting chord names in in the first place).
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
** = 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

Fade out
I STILL LOVE YOU
Paul Stanley, Vinnie Vincent
[Rby. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rby. Fig 1] (2x)
You tell me that you're leaving
And I'm trying to understand
I had myself believing
I should take it like a man
[Rby. Fig 2]
But if you gotta go then you gotta know
That it's killing me
And all the things I never seem to show
I gotta make you see
[Rby. Fig 3]
[Rby. Fig 1] (2x)
Girl it's been so long
(Tell me) tell me how could it be
One of us knows the two of us don't belong
In each others company
[Rby. Fig 2]
It hurts so much inside your telling me goodbye
You wanna be free
And knowin' that you're gone and leavin' me behind
[Riff 1]
I gotta make you see
[Rby. Fig 4 w/ Rby. Fig 5]
I gotta make you see
Gotta make you see
[Rby. Fig 6a]
I still love you
I still love you
[Rby. Fig 6b]
I really, I really love you
I still love you
[Solo 1 over Rby. Fig 1]
[Rby. Fig 1] (2x)
People tell me
I should win at any cost
But now I see as the smoke clears away
The battle has been lost
[Rby. Fig 2]
I see it in your eyes you never have to lie
I'm out of your life
Tonight I'll dream away and you can still be mine
[Riff 1]
But I'm dreamin' a lie
[Rby. Fig 4 w/ Rby. Fig 5]
Dreamin' a lie
Makes me wanna die
[Rby. Fig 6a]
'Cause I still love you
I still love you
[Rby. Fig 6b]
Baby, baby I love you
I still love you
[Solo 2 over Rby. Fig 7]
[Rby. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rby. Fig 2]
And when I think of all the things you'll never know
There's so much left to say
'Cause girl, now I see the price of losing you
[Riff 1]
Will be my hell to pay
[Rby. Fig 4 w/ Rby. Fig 5]
My hell to pay
Each and every day
Hear what I say
[Rby. Fig 6a]
I still love you
I still love you
[Rby. Fig 6c]
I really, I really love you
I still love you Baby, baby
[Rby. Fig 6b]
I love you
I love you
[Rby. Fig 6c w/ Solo 3]
I really, I really love you
[Rby. Fig 6b]
