Standard tuning

Comments: Look out for this one. Most notes during the verses are played
very staccato. The slides into double-stops that occur here and there takes
some work to get to sound fluid. This bass player (Neil Jason, probably a 
studio musician) has some serious skills.


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

TRUE CONFESSIONS
Gene Simmons

[Rhy. Fig 1]

[Rhy. Fig 3]
Before you tell me to go, I've got to let you know 
How you're makin' my temperature rise 
I let you use me, you tried to abuse me, you tell me you're not very nice 

[Rhy. Fig 5]
I'm not your social security, I'm not your star opportunity, yeah 
Oh baby, you can have me absolutely, won't you give me 

[Rhy. Fig 7]
True confessions, true confessions, true confessions 
That's all I'm askin' for, yeah 

[Rhy. Fig 1]

[Rhy. Fig 4]
I do things to make you crazy inside 
And baby that's one thing you know you can't hide 
You ask me why, what's your confession 
Well baby, the truth is, you're in my possession tonight 

[Rhy. Fig 7]
True confessions, true confessions, true confessions 
That's all I'm askin' for, yeah 

[Rhy. Fig 2]

[Rhy. Fig 6]
I'm not your social security, I'm not your star opportunity, yeah 
Oh baby, you can have me absolutely, won't you give me 

[Rhy. Fig 7]
True confessions, true confessions, true confessions 

[Choir interlude]

True confessions, true confessions, true confessions
