Standrad tuning
Comments: The clean electric which carries the verse here has an almost
bell-like quality to it. Very nice. The acoustic, which sounds more like
a 6- than a 12-string, comes in during the chorus and solo and just strums
along quietly in the background. Great solo, obviously by Paul, that really
screams. Has a standard move of Paul's when he plays a D-major arpeggio
(which he likes to add the 4th to) in the E-minor tonality. Note that the
D minor from the first chorus changes to a Bb for the second. Nice touch.
(They are parallel chords.)

A WORLD WITHOUT HEROES
Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin, Lou Reed, Gene Simmons
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
[Rhy. Fig 3]
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace
[Rhy. Fig 4a]
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
[Rhy. Fig 5]
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 6]
[Rhy. Fig 6 w/ End 1]
[No guitar]
In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place
