 Standard tuning


 Comments: There isn't much to this track guitarwise. The solo is the only


 real point of attraction. The rhythms are simple, but effective, and has


 a slightly effected sound (sound like a little chorus). Just watch out for


 the slide at the end of Rhy. Fig 1. Just slide it in rhythm up the finger-


 board until it's time to stop the strings. In case you don't want to sit


 idly during the verses just play four open E's and two G's at the third fret


 and you're home. Weird solo. Way overeffected and basically just a bunch


 of strange slides and noise. Towards the end the multiple releases is done


 with a delay while a second guitar fades in.


 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

 Very wide vibrato and feedback
 MR. BLACKWELL
 Gene Simmons, Lewis Reed
 [Bass only]
 I never said I was more than I am
 Do what I want and I don't give a damn
 You're all so weak you know it makes me ill
 Don't like you now and probably never will
 [Rhy. Fig 1]
 You cheat and lie, and wonder why
 You can't sleep at night
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1]
 You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
 And we can tell
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
 You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
 Why don't you go to hell
 [Bass only]
 I am a sinner who just loves to sin
 I am a fighter who just loves to win
 I know the truth about this crummy oath
 There's nothing here that can't be bought or sold
 [Rhy. Fig 1]
 You're cold and mean, and in between
 You're rotten to the core
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1] (2x)
 You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
 And we can tell
 You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
 Why don't you go to hell
 [Rhy. Fig 3]
 You're a victim, a real disgrace
 You should be banished from the human race
 [Solo over Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1]
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
 [Rhy. Fig 1]
 [Bass only]
 We'll drink to sorrow then we'll drink to waste
 We'll drink a toast to the inhuman race
 Here's to the world and the times we're in
 Here's to the kid a real man among men
 [Rhy. Fig 2]
 You're cold and mean, and in between
 You're rotten to the core
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ end 1]
 You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
 And we can tell
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
 You're not well, Mr. Blackwell
 Why don't you go to hell
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1]
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 2]
