Raise Your Glasses Lyrics

RAISE YOUR GLASSES (from the KISS CD "PSYCHO CIRCUS")
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Pauls solo is fairly easy, lots of open E-string here. The only
hard part is the pull-off lick really. Riffs that have a and b parts are
played at the same time (usually a is by Paul and b is by Ace).
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

RAISE YOUR GLASSES
Stanley/Knight
Rhy. ig 1a w/ Rhy. ig 1b
Rhy. ig 2a
I took a ride with a one way ticket
I aimed my arrow at the mark and hit it
We all need to be somebody
Rhy. ig 2a w/ Rhy. ig 2b
Been broken down, but not defeated
I kept on punching back till I succeeded
We all need to be somebody, now
Rhy. ig 3
Rhy. ig 4
We stop at nothing, even climb barbed wire
We struck a match and set the world on fire
And if we tried, we couldn't get much higher, now
Rhy. ig 5a w/ Rhy. ig 5b
(Ohh) Everyone around the nation
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Standing pround 'cause we're the champions
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Rhy. ig 2a
We pushed it all, beyond the limit
We took our chances and we jumped right in it
We all need to be somebody
Rhy. ig 2a w/ Rhy. ig 2b
Now I believe, in strength in numbers
Went into battle with a force of thunder
We all need to be somebody
Rhy. ig 4
I wanna shout it out with all my power
I wanna scream it from the highest tower
I want to celebrate our finest hour, now
Rhy. ig 5a w/ Rhy. ig 5b
(Ohh) Everyone around the nation
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Standing pround 'cause we're the champions
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Rhy. ig 6a w/ Rhy. ig 6b
Oh, you gotta give it your all
You gotta know what you're after
And go, we'll make it over the wall together
Solo over Rhy. ig 1a w/ Rhy. ig 1b
Rhy. ig 7
I took a ride with a one way ticket
I shot my arrow at the mark and hit it
(Everyone around the nation)
When all the others only talked, i did it
(Raise your glasses, raise your glasses)
Kept pushing everything beyond the limit
(Lift your voice in celebration)
Rhy. ig 8
You play the game, you gotta play to win it
So raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Rhy. ig 5a w/ Rhy. ig 5b
Everyone around the nation
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Standing pround 'cause we're the champions
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Rhy. ig 5a w/ Rhy. ig 5b
(repeat and fade)
(Well, come on)
Everyone around the nation
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
Raise your voice in celebration
Raise your glasses, raise your glasses
