 Tuned down 1/2-step


 Comments: I like this song. I never have been able to figure out what he


 Actually sings in the chorus after "great expectations", but I still think


 It's cool. Too bad there isn't more guitar though. As usual I've only listed


 The chord forms of the coustic here, you can hear what the strum patterns


 Are better than I can show them in tab. There is an acoustic that comes in


 Under the last chorus but for the life of me I can't hear what the second


 Chord is: the first is and A and the third is an E, but what the hell is


 In between? I don't have a clue.


 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

 GREAT EXPECTATIONS - Gene Simmons, Bob Ezrin
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Solo]
 [Rhy. Fig 1]
 You're sittin' in your seat
 And then you stand and clutch your breast
 Our music drives you wild along with the rest
 [Rhy. Fig 2]
 [Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4] (2x)
 You watch me singing this song
 You see what my mouth can do
 And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
 And you watch me playin' guitar
 And you feel what my fingers can do
 And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
 Well, listen
 [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6]
 You've got great expectations
 [Rhy. Fig 7]
 You've got great expectations
 [Rhy. Fig 1]
 You're dying to be seen
 And you wave and call my name
 But in the day it seems that I'm a million miles away
 [Rhy. Fig 2]
 [Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
 You watch me beatin' my drum
 And you know what my hands can do
 And you wish you were the one I was doing it to
 Well, listen
 [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (2x)
 You've got great expectations
 You've got great expectations
 [Rhy. Fig 7]
 You've got great expectations
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Solo]
 [Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
 Then you feels these eyes from the stage
 And you see me staring at you
 And you hear between the lines, my voice is calling to you
 Well, listen
 [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (repeat and fade)
 You've got great expectations
 You've got great expectations
 You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role
 You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul
 You've got great expectations
 You've got great expectations
 You've got great expectations, do you want to play the role
 You've got great expectations, you'd even sell me your soul
 You've got great expectations, as long as you can play the role
 You've got great expectations
