Tough Love Lyrics

TOUGH LOVE (from the KISS album "REVENGE")
Tuned down whole-step to D
Comments: Almost heavy metal this one. During the last pre-chorus, riffs
4a and 4b are extended by one bar of E5-chords. Everything is pretty
straight-forward, the solo is harmless so to speak and most of the fills
are too. Only the outro solo gets a little fast.
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
