DOMINO (from the KISS CD "REVENGE")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: The muted notes in Rhythm fig. 1 is an A at the 7th fret. I chose
to notate it thus to keep it from getting too cluttered. It„s a pretty hard
mute. The notes in parenthesis in Rhythm fig. 5b are played only during the
last chorus. At the beginning of the solo each of the E„s at the 2nd fret
are to be dipped a whole-step. Rock bottom means to drop the bar until
the string goes slack
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

Lower one octave with whammy bar
Domino
Simmons
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Now lemme tell you my story
I got a man-sized predicament
And it„s a big one
Goes like this
[Rhy. Fig 2a with Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2a with Riff 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3a]
Never had confession
Never had a home
Never had no worry
Until I met Domino
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Ain„t the virgin Mary
Love her I confess
Got my hesitations
Cause she kisses like the kiss of death
[Rhy. Fig 5a]
Loves lots of money
Backs against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she„s
Got me by the balls
[Rhy. Fig 6]
They call her Domino
[Rhy. Fig 2a with Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
[Rhy. Fig 4 & 3b]
Got a reputation
Haven„t got a hope
It„s a sticky situation
If she ain„t old enough to vote
[Rhy. Fig 5b]
Loves to play with fire
Loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin„
Cause she„s a bad habit, bad habit
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Bad habit that„s good, good, good
They call her Domino
[Rhy. Fig 2a with Riff 4]
Domino, Domino
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 7]
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Every damn time I walk through the door
It„s the same damn thing...
That bitch bends over
And I forget my name...Ow!
[Rhy. Fig 5c with Outro solo]
Loves lots of money
Back„s against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she„s
Got me by the balls
[Rhy. Fig 5b]
Loves to play with fire
Love her I confess
Got no hesitation, cause she„s a
Bad habit, bad habit
She„s a bad habit
[Rhy. Fig 8]
