Tom: E
ALWAYS NEAR YOU/NOWHED TO HIDE (from the KISS CD "GENE BMM ONS")
E|--------------------|
Standard tuning
Comments: I like these chords, specially when the "harmony" part comes in
by the second verse. There is also some very good solo guitar work here
(although the last G natural against the E major chord in Riff 3 is a little
annoying even with the gradual bend to the A). The high A's that fade in
(both bent and straight) give a slightly eerie feel to the track. And you
got to love Gene's castrato vocals during the jamming outro.

I've just begun since you've gone, to understand I'm the only one
[Rhy. Fig 1]
And if you cross yourself at night
[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ End 1 and Riff 2]
I'll come and see you, don't run and hide
I'm always near you, I'm always near you, near you

And if you turn out the light (turn out the light)
Don't think you'll hide behind the night (behind the night)
And if you touch me, I might
