I'M A LEGEND TONIGHT (from the KISS album "KILLERS")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning w/ capo at 3rd fret
Comments: Well, I guess my own earlier comments came back to bite me in the
ass. In a previous attempt at this song I critizised other transcriptions
for errors only to perform a crucial one myself. Thanks to those who
corrected me. This is played using a capo (which I should have known) but
it isn't obvious other than in the open string riff in (for example)
Rhy. Fig 1. This is a much better tab than my previous one. Enjoy.
