MOVE ON (from the KISS CD "PAUL STANLEY")
--------------------
tab by Spider
Standard tuning
Comments: I think this is an OK song, nothing out of the ordinary, just
good rock 'n' roll. There are plenty of solos though which merit some
attention. Paul does good work here. He¥s not as melodic as usual but
he puts in some cool minor pentatonic licks here and there. Some of
the stuff in the second and third solo are a little hard to hear but I
think I'm pretty close.

MOVE ON
Paul Stanley, Mikel Japp
[Rhy. Fig 1a w/ Rhy. Fig 3]
Mmm, yeah
[Rhy. Fig 7]
When I was just a baby, mama sat me on her knee
She told me "Boy you listen there's a lot you oughta see
A lot of pretty women, gonna try and tie you down
You don't know what you're missin' if you never look around"
[Rhy. Fig 1a w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
Move on, that's what she told me
Move on, mmm yeah
Move on, whoo oh, oh
Move on, I'm leavin' on my way
[Rhy. Fig 7 w/ Rhy. Fig 9]
Told you that forever was a word I couldn't say
I don't know 'bout tomorrow 'cause I'm livin' for today
You're every inch a lady and you'll always have my love
You listen, you can hear, her voice is callin' from above
[Rhy. Fig 1a w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
Move on, that's what she told me
Move on, keep on movin'
Move on, oh oh, oh

The time is at hand
The day is upon us
There's no need to say goodbye
