Sure Know Something KISS
-------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com Standard tuning Comments: This is a great song. Once again Paul uses thirds, this time almost exlucsively minor, and turns out a great tune. A lot of his mid- tempo stuff from the transition from 70's to 80's was minor, and quite a few centered in E minor. (The greatest chord progression of them all during this time was stolen by Gene. You all know which one.) In Rhy. Figs 3 and 8 there is a buildup on an Em7 chord. Since it's a little different each time it's played in Rhy. Fig 3 what I've tabbed here is an approximation. You get the idea. The solo is pure Paul. I think it¥s over-effected but it is still a great solo. Also, look out for the slide in Rhy. Figs 2 and 3. Took me a while to figure out where Paul plays the chords in order to be able to do that little slide. It is a big part of the rhythm, don't miss it. There is a part here, right during the last chorus, that I haven¥t been able to transcribe. If you listen closely you'll hear a solo-type thing, kind of an ostinato, far in the background. It might be something like they used to do live (if you've heard it you¥ll know what I mean right away) but I really can't say. It's just not audible enough.
