Kiss - Nowhere To Run bass tab
NOWHERE TO RUN (from the KISS CD "KILLERS")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: I think Paul played this himself. The part has a tendency to
lean on some serious dissonances in a way that Gene never does. Plus
it follows the guitars very closely which is a standard way for guitarists
to play bass.
