* "NINE LIVES" *
E--2\5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~---|
followed by massive feedback, cat noises, etc...
main riff- G5 A5 C5 A
And in a wink, the funk was all around me
And I think, I'm dead in love again
C# (for the entire chorus)
Nine lives, feelin' lucky, nine lives, live again...

* "Falling In Love(Is Hard On The Knees)" *
You're so bad, You're so bad, You're so
You're so bad, You're so bad, You're so
You think you're in love like it's a real sure thing
But every time you fall you get your ass in a sling
You used to be strong but now it's ooh baby please
'cause falling in love is so hard on the knees
this riff is played over the chorus E-----------------------------------------------|---------------|
We was making love when you told me that you loved me
I thought ol' cupid he was taking aim
I was believer when you told me that you loved me
And then you called me someone elses name
guitar 2 is barely audible at first, but eventually this is played:

G--11--------11b--r-9---------11-b-11--11----11b-r--|
(play as individual notes)
What are you looking for
it's got to be hard core
must be some kind of nouveau riche
Is this your only chance
or some hypnotic trance
Let's get you on a tighter leash
(part of it)
G--18b-r-18b-r-18b-r-18b-r-18b-r-18b-r-18b-r-18b-r-18b-r-18b-r--|

This is where I get lost. When it slows down it looks like this:

* "HOLE IN MY SOUL" *
Is it over
Is it over
ss4
Cause I'm blowin' out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find there's nothing there girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause
There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever
It's a place where a garden never grows
There's a hole in my soul, yeah I should have known better
'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
interlude:
God I love the sweet taste of India Lingers on the tip...
E--------------------------------------------------------------------4{-----|
B------------------------------------------------------------------5--v--(5)|
D-----2b-r-2-2b-r--2---------------------2-----2b-r-2-2b-r-2----------------|
continue with similar.
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta love the sweet taste of India
Blame it on the beat of the drum
God I love the sweet taste of India
Lingers on the tip of my tongue
Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
Any cat man do when it's done
(The verse is just the E string and an F chord)
Oh yeah she's got that kind of love incense
That lives in her back room
And when it mixes with the funk my friend
It turns into perfume
When you are born you're afraid of the darkness
And then vou're afraid of the light
But I'm not afraid when I dance with my shadow
This time I'm gonna get it right
To think of what I'll get tonight
Just lookin' for a little taste
She'll steal the smile right off your face
At some point the rhythm guitar plays a heavily distorted
Also at some point, F# and F chords are arpeggiated, which lookssomething
like this:
This is followed by this little lead fill:
lead gtr(rt.spkr.)-
G--10-b-r--8\10/8---6-b-r-5\6/5--4\5/3------|
and then:

* "Full Circle" *
riff
Verse/Chorus:
Pre-Chorus:
Bridge:
During solo:
Chorus 2:
* "Something's Gotta Give" *
intro is G and A over and over eneding with C every cycle
like G A G A G A C G A G A G A G
Cyberotic head explode
Information overload
And I just can't take anymore
And I'm gonna break
(Something's gotta give)
Tell me when to turn the screw, does the noise in my head botheryou
(after solo it goes F F# G then to E and back into chorus)
* "Ain't That A Bitch" *
"Up in Smoke..." "You take a hit..."
G---------8~~~~~~~---------8~~~-11-10~~~~~~~---------8~~~~~~----|
"Strung out..."
B---------------------------------11p8----11p8----11p8-----11p8-|
G---------8~~~~~-\11-10~~~~~~~~~--------------------------------|
B----11p8----11p8-----11p8----11p8---------|
Up in smoke, you lost another lover
As you take a hit off your last cigarette
Strung out, burn out
Yeah, you're down on your luck and you don't give a... huh
Till the best part of you starts to twitch... ain't that a bitch
Freak out! I'm alone now!
I feel just like I'm losing my mind
'Cause love is like the right dress on the wrong girl
You never know what you're gonna find
You think you're high and fine as wine
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
'Cause love is like a wrong turn on a cold night
Yeah, ain't that a bitch!
gliss
G---------13--12~~~~~~~~~~~----------11--/9~~~~~~~~-/(1)--------|
I haven't figured out the intermediary chords yet.
In a daze, in the throes of emotion
You see God in the devil's eyes
You wouldn't know a kiss if it was on your face
You could tell it to the jury but you ain't got no case

Joe Perry plays this during the C7:

B--5--5--8--5---5--5--5--8-8b----r~~~~~~~--------------|
repeat that several times, then play this:
B--5--5--8--5---5--5--5--8--5~~~~~~~~------------------|
There's a cockroach in my coffee
There's a needle in my arm
And I feel like New York City
Take me to the farm
(and I think the Buckle up straight jack part starts with:)
Buckle up straightjack sanity is such a drag
etc...
* "Crash" *
Sitting in a castle on the floor with Esmorelda

chorus: F5 - G5
No more cryin' eyes my friend
Excusez-fuckin'-moi
* "Fallen Angels" *
There's A candle Burning in this world tonite
Another child who vanished out of sight
And a heart is broken, another prayer in vain
There's a million tears that fill a sea of pain
Sometimes I stare out my window
My thoughts all drift into space
Sometimes I wonder if there's a better place
Where do fallen Angels Go? (I just don't know)
Where do fallen Angels go? They keep falling (They keep falling)
