#MY WAY (from the KISS CD "CRAZY NIGHTS")

Comments: Lots of keyboard-pads on this one. But, underneath all that there
is a guitar. It is heavily distorted and basically just plays chords through-
out the song. There is a little fill-type thing going on in the second verse.
Im guessing its actually played by the keyboard but its in the back of the
mix so I cant really tell. It is transcribed here as Riff 2.

Rhy. ig 6
Oh the heat is on, and my back's against the wall
You know it's tough to be strong, in a world that makes you crawl
Rhy. ig 7
I'm never gonna stop, I'm never gonna give up in the fight
Rhy. ig 8
'Cause after the battle is done, all you've got left is your pride
Rhy. ig 1
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
Rhy. ig 2
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
Rhy. ig 6 w/ Riff 2
Here in the danger zone, it's a jagged edge we climb
But if you take it like stone, and stand on your own
You can make the grade in time
Rhy. ig 7
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
Rhy. ig 9
'Cause after it's all said and done, I won't be wonderin' why
Rhy. ig 8
And I'll know that under the gun, I am the one who's got the right to decide
Rhy. ig 1
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
Rhy. ig 3
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
Rhy. ig 5
And if you don't play my game I won't play, I'm gonna do it my way
Solo over Rhy. ig 6 then Rhy. ig 10
Rhy. ig 7
I'm never gonna run, I'm never gonna tell myself a lie
Rhy. ig 8
'Cause after it's all said and done, I've got the right to decide
Rhy. ig 1
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
Rhy. ig 3
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
Rhy. ig 1
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
Rhy. ig 3
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
Rhy. ig 1
I'm gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
Rhy. ig 11
I'm gonna go where I go, ain't takin' no my way
Rhy. ig 6
Yeah, I'm gonna do it my way, yeah, I'm gonna do it my way
Rhy. ig 6 w/ Riff 3
