  MY WAY (from the KISS CD "CRAZY NIGHTS")
  --------------------
  
  Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
  
  Tuned down 1/2-step
  
  Comments: Before someone points it out I will, this tab is tuned differently
  from the guitar tab. Why? Heck if I know. When I did the guitar tab for this
  song there was nothing to indicate anything but standard tuning (save perhaps
  the for KISS somewhat unusual key of Bb). Since much of Paul's 80's stuff had
  been in standard tuning I didn't give it a second thought. But now, when I try
  my hand at the bass, it turns out that it needs a low Eb. Rather than tab this
  for 5-string (which Gene rarely, is ever yields) I tabbed this for Eb-tuning.
  I don't have the patience to re-tab the guitar you'll have to do with this. As
  for the song, it's very 80's. Pumping eight-note bass (probably played by
  either Paul or Bruce) under plenty of keyboards.
