Shandi by Kiss
Shandi
Standard tuning
Comments: Kind of a top-of-the-pops type song this. The guitar work though,
which might be all Paul, is good and a little out of the ordinary for KISS.
Especially the second two bars of the main riff. Very percussive and kind
of funky. Nice fills too. There's an acoustic (probably a 12-string) through
most of the song. I've only notated the chords in most places. Check the
recording for the rhythm pattern.
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

I just can't pretend no more, I keep runnin' out of lies
Lovin' you is killin' me inside
Everytime I find the words to end it, something in your eyes won't let it
Shandi, tonight must last us forever, forever we say goodnight and go home
But you know me very well, and I know you, you can't tell me goodnight
(say goodnight)
We been holding on so tight, we're afraid to let it go
Shake it loose, we both could use the ride
Here's another mess I got myself in, and when you touch me you ain't helpin'
Shandi, tonight must last us forever, forever we say goodnight and go home
But you know me very well, and I know you, you can't tell me goodnight
(say goodnight) - say goodnight when we should say goodbye (say goodbye)
mmmmm oh yeeaaahhh
(Shandi, Shandi) Tonight must last us forever and ever
Forever we say goodnight and go home
Shandi, Shandi, tonight must last us forever
