Standard tuning

Comments: Quite a simple line this but it anchors the chords well and supply
much of the tension (and subsequent release) during the verse. Dig the change
in notes between the two choruses. Makes all the difference in the world.



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 war
(/)  = Release war
Tp   = Tap wplectrum

A WORLD WITHOUT HEROES 
Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin, Lou Reed, Gene Simmons 

[Rhy. Fig 1] (8x)

[Rhy. Fig 1] (4x)
A world without heroes 
Is like a world without sun 
[Rhy. Fig 2]
You can't look up to anyone 
Without heroes 

[Rhy. Fig 1] (4x)
And a world without heroes 
Is like a never ending race 
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Is like a time without a place 
A pointless thing devoid of grace 

[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
Where you don't know what you're after 
Or if something's after you 
And you don't know why you don't know 

[Rhy. Fig 1] (4x)
In a world without heroes 
In a world without dreams 
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Things are no more than they seem 
[Rhy. Fig 1] (4x)
And a world without heroes 
Is like a bird without wings 
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Or a bell that never rings 
Just a sad and useless thing 

[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 2]
Where you don't know what you're after 
Or if something's after you 
And you don't know why you don't know 

[Rhy. Fig 1] (3x)
[Rhy. Fig 3] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 1] (4x)
[Rhy. Fig 4]

[Rhy. Fig 6]
In a world without heroes 
There's nothing to be 
It's no place for me 
[Rhy. Fig 6]
