Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Another good song from this much under-appreciated album. The
bass-work here is simple and to the point. Some slight melodic passing
notes is about as exciting as it gets.
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

JUST A BOY
Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Who steers the ship through the stormy sea
If hope is lost then so are we
[Rhy. Fig 4]
While some eyes search for one to guide us
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Some are staring at me
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
[Rhy. Fig 7]
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ End 1]
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing
[Rhy. Fig 3]
[Rhy. Fig 5]
While some eyes search for one to guide us
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Some are staring at me
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
[Rhy. Fig 7]
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
[Riff 2]
[Rhy. Fig 8 w/ End 2]
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing
