TAKE IT OFF (from the KISS album "REVENGE")
-----------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark (emil@kisstabs.com)
Tuned down whole-step to D
Comments: Let´s party. The D-tuning makes the D/F# to G chord change almost
amazingly full. During the chorus the chord changes (A-A/G) are implied by
the bass which is pumping eight-notes.
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

[Rhy. fig 2]
[Rhy. fig 2]
Well my mind is gettin´ dirty yeah around eleven thirty, uh-huh
I wanna watch some asses shakin´ to the noise the boys are makin´
uh-huh
So, ihop into my car, hit the local titty bar, uh-huh
´Cause that´s my kind of situation when I need some perspiration
uh-huh
[Rhy. fig 3]
I do my one-stop shopping
For the girl of my dreams
Cos I can always be sure that she´s as good as she seems
[Rhy. fig 4a]
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you´d do me
I wanna see what´s inside
Cos you got nothing to hide
[Rhy. fig 4a]
Take it off pretty baby
Take it off, drive me crazy
You know you make me so hot
I wanna see what you got
Take it off
[Rhy. fig 2]

Wave your panties in the air, lick your lips and shake your hair
Uh-huh
Ooh, when you spread a little oil, yeah, my heart begins to boil
Uh-huh
[Rhy. fig 3]
Yeah, it´s so hard to choose
When you all look so fine
But I got nothing to lose but my money and my mind
[Rhy. fig 4a]
Take it off, give it to me
Take it off, like you´d do me
I wanna see what´s inside
Cos you got nothing to hide
[Rhy. fig 4b with Riff 1]

Ooh, move your sweet body closer
(I want to be alone with you)
Yeah, come on and be my fantasy
(There´s so much you and I could do)
Oh, you´re so near I can taste you
(You´re teasin´ me, you´re pleasin´ me)
(Aah) I know you´re dancin´ just for me
Just for me
[Rhy. fig 7a]
Take it off, pretty baby
