  I'M ALIVE (from the KISS CD "ASYLUM")
  --------------------
  
  Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
  
  Standard tuning
  
  Comments: This tab doesn't look like what the song sounds like I know, but
  the bass plays mainly staccato quarters (which at this speed is kind of hard
  to do) with the odd syncopation thrown in. I kind of like the diminished
  runs that lead into the chorus.
