AND ON THE 8TH DAY (from the KISS CD "LICK IT UP")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: This has appeared in downright horrible versions on various pages
on the net. Usually the chords are right but in all the wrong places and the
G in Rhy. Fig 3 is played at the 5th fret, 4th string. The timbre, which is
clearly audible on the recording, shows that it is an open G-string.
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
#(#) = Trill
** = 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

AND ON THE 8TH DAY
G. Simmons/V. Vincent
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 3] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 3] (3x)
The sky is fallin' and the wheels of life are grindin' out a brand new beat
The streets are burnin' with the call of the wild
[Rhy. Fig 4]
And I can feel the heat
[Rhy. Fig 3] (3x)
They'll call you names and spit in your face, but legends never die
Just pick up your guitar, on your knees and pray
[Rhy. Fig 5]
And hold your head up high
[Rhy. Fig 2 w/ End 1]
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
On the 8th day God created rock and roll
[Rhy. Fig 3] (3x)
Out of the ashes came the dawn and the shape of things to come
Never surrender, just carry on
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Straight to kingdom come
[Rhy. Fig 3] (3x)
You sold your soul and virginity, can't rape a heart of gold
Yes you're born to rule, it's destiny
[Rhy. Fig 5]
Now it can be told
[Rhy. Fig 2]
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
On the 8th day God created rock and roll
[Rhy. Fig 1]
On the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
On the 8th day God created rock and roll
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 6]
[Rhy. Fig 3] (3x)
Rock of ages carry the news to the heart of a brave new world
Feel the noise in the name of rock
[Rhy. Fig 5]
Let the heavens roar
[Rhy. Fig 2]
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll (rock and roll)
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
[Rhy. Fig 7]
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 9]
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
(yes he created, he created)
(rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll)
On the 8th day God created rock and roll
(gotta pick up your guitar, get down on your knees and pray)
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ Rhy. Fig 9]
And on the 8th day God created rock and roll
(yes he created rock and roll, rock and roll, rock and roll)
On the 8th day God created rock and roll
(on the 8th day, uh rock and roll ooh yeah)
