Always Near Younowhere To Hide tab by Kiss

Standard tuning

Comments: I like these chords, specially when the "harmony" part comes in
by the second verse. There is also some very good solo guitar work here
(although the last G natural against the E major chord in Riff 3 is a little
annoying even with the gradual bend to the A). The high A's that fade in
(both bent and straight) give a slightly eerie feel to the track. And you
got to love Gene's castrato vocals during the jamming outro.


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
