ANYTHING FOR MY BABY (from the KISS CD "DRESSED TO KILL")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Talk about your high register chords. Just about everything is
played between the 9th and the 14th fret. I love this song, but for a long
time I couldn't figure out how it was played. It was those chords in the
beginning (Rhy. Fig 1) that tripped me up every time. Don't know why. I
would have loved to see KISS do this song live just once. I think it
could have been a really cool audience participation thing. If it sounds
a little weak that's because the bass is such a big part of this song.

ANYTHING FOR MY BABY
Paul Stanley
[Drums only]
Anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Oh
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
I'm in love and it feels so good
'Cause I need her, don't mistreat her
And I tell her so
When I saw her and she looked my way
I was lonely, she's my only
And I've gotta say that
[Rhy. Fig 5w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (3x)
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
In the morning when I raise my head
She's beside me, she can hide me
When I'm feelin' low
If I'm thinkin' everything's all wrong
My girl shakes me, she awakes me
Then I really know that
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (3x)
I would steal anything for my baby
I'd wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Don't you know that
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (3x)
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal anything for my baby
I would crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
I'd do anything
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (3x)
I would give anything for my baby
I would die or live, anything for my baby
I would t-t-t-t-take or give anything for my baby
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (3x)
Yes, I would take anything for my baby
I would build or break anything for my baby
I would rob or take anything for my baby
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Rhy. Fig 6] (3x)
I would do anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal
(fade out)
