  CADILLAC DREAMS (from the KISS CD "HOT IN THE SHADE")
  --------------------
  
  Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
  
  Standard tuning
  
  Comments: This is a fairly simple rhythm part. Problem is, at times I
  think I hear another guitar far in the background. But, since I'm not
  sure if it's there there's no way in hell to figure out what it plays
  (if anything). As far as the song goes, I don't care much for it. It is
  quintessential Gene, especially the subject matter. "When you can get it
  for free it just ain't worth a damn." 'Nuff said.
