AIN'T QUITE RIGHT (from the 1978 solo KISS "PAUL STANLEY" transcribed by Adnrewrocku)
--------------------
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: I was looking through the KISS tabs and thought it to be a damn shame that
Aint Quite right was not yet included. Aside from the brilliant arrangement and
melody .. this is a simple song yet complex in the different guitars used. There's
two different electric on the left and right and 12 string in the middle along with
a heavy middle power chord electric during power chords. I've not included the solo
and outro solo but they can be found at http://www.kissasylum.com/kisstabs/main.shtml
along with just about every other KISS song in the paramount KISS catalog.(There are
also some E-bow playing after the solo and in the outro that I've also not included
here.) Also I switched to the 12 string variation of the lyric chords after the first
lyric just for versatility. This is my first tab so I'm keeping it simple and easy to
understand.

You gave me good love

Solo (not transcribed)
Lookin' back now seems so easy
You were the best thing ever happened to me

It was worth every minute we had
'Cause, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite right
Yeah, you gave me good love
But it ain't quite riiiiiiiiiight ...
