BETRAYED (from the KISS CD "HOT IN THE SHADE")
--------------------
Tab by Spider
Standard tuning
Comments: Just two things here. First, at the very end of the solo. I
have no idea what the correct notes are, all I hear is a barrage of
notes underneath a wall off noise. IÂ¥ve put down a little something that
Bruce usually plays here and there. The final phrase is correct. Second,
the same thing happens during the outro solo. I have about a snowball¥s
chance in hell of transcribing about halfway through so I just let it be.
(I wish they would have remastered this album along with the others. It
is by far the worst-sounding KISS album ever. Gene and Paul are not
producers, that¥s for sure.)

BETRAYED
Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Riff 2]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
[Rhy. Fig 6]
You pay your taxes, you pay the rent, till you haven't got a cent
[Rhy. Fig 7] (2x)
It's the law of the jungle, if you got the hunger
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Just hold on to what you got (hold on, hold on), just live it to the last drop
[Rhy. Fig 8]
You can't help it, you just can't stop
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Betrayed, yeah, life's a bitch, so just don't feel
Betrayed, no, you ain't the only one who's been
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Betrayed, betrayed
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Stone cold and all alone, and you're wearin' everything you own
[Rhy. Fig 7]
They bare your flesh and strip your soul, but underneath you got a heart of gold
[Rhy. Fig 8]
Just hold on to what you got (hold on, hold on)
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Betrayed, you ain't satisfied, I know you feel betrayed
You ain't crucified, so get real
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Betrayed, betrayed
[Rhy. Fig 9 w/ Rhy. Fig 10]
(w/ spoken words)
[Rhy. Fig 11 w/ Solo]
All alone, far from home, and you're feelin' cold as stone
Don't give up, don't give in, life's a bitch if you lose or win
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Betrayed - yeah, you ain't the only one who's been
Betrayed - life's a bitch, if you lose or win - betrayed, betrayed
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Riff 4 and Outro solo]
Betrayed, betrayed (repeat lyrics till fade)
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 5] (repeat)
