Hotter Than Hell by Kiss

Tabs

Note about tuning: For some reason, this song is the only one on
the album Hotter Than Hell that is tuned one whole step below
standard pitch. All other songs for this album are one half step
below standard, and the live version of Hotter Than Hell on Alive!
is one half-step down also. Just be aware of this when you play
along with either the album or studio version.


Note values are written above the staff: w=whole note, h= half
q=quarter, e=eighth, etc. Chord diagramA augmentedA rest will be followed by an ’r’.
’Ghost’ or ’grace’ notes (such as in bar 3 of riff 1) will be
noted by an *.
Lyrics will be under staff, as physically close to their rhythmic
placement in the song as ASCII will allow.
Song is in 4/4.
