I can't wait a day
I don't care what you say
Oh yeah, you got to pay
When you hit rock bottom
And you're there to stay
Sometimes late at night
I want to hold you tight
Oh no, you got to pay
Girl, you hit rock bottom
And you're there to stay
Rock bottom
Girl, you know you oughta treat me good
Rock bottom
Oh, you never treat me like you should
Hard times got me down
Good times ain't around
Now I got the mind to say
Girl, you hit rock bottom
And you're there to stay
Rock bottom
Girl, you know you oughta treat me good
Rock bottom
Yeah, you never treat me like you should
Rock bottom
Girl, you know you oughta treat me good

version 2
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: As you can see I've chosen to separate this song into two parts,
one tab for the all-acoustic intro, and this tab for the "actual" song.
There are three guitars running through this one: Paul's main electric
on the left, Ace's electric on the left and an acoustic that doubles Ace
during the verse. Which part it doubles in the chorus (or if it plays a
part all its own) I can't say but it's there, once again showing that
this album probably has the most acoustic guitar of any KISS album
(not counting Unplugged, that is). The solo is short but sweet. Classic
Ace moves here: the minor-to-major third hammer-on, plenty of bends,
a nice scalar passage (which features two decending fourths which isn't
that common), and those cool grace-slides at the end.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\) = Dive w\bar
(/) = Release w\bar
Tp = Tap w\plectrum
