Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: The muted notes in Rhythm fig. 1 is an A at the 7th fret. I chose
to notate it thus to keep it from getting too cluttered. It¥s a pretty hard
mute. The notes in parenthesis in Rhythm fig. 5b are played only during the
last chorus. At the beginning of the solo each of the EÂ¥s at the 2nd fret
are to be dipped a whole-step. Rock bottom means to drop the bar until
the string goes slack
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

Domino
Simmons
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Now lemme tell you my story
I got a man-sized predicament
And it¥s a big one
Goes like this
[Rhy. Fig 2a with Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2a with Riff 2]
[Rhy. Fig 3a]
Never had confession
Never had a home
Never had no worry
Until I met Domino
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Ain¥t the virgin Mary
Love her I confess
Got my hesitations
Cause she kisses like the kiss of death
[Rhy. Fig 5a]
Loves lots of money
Backs against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she¥s
Got me by the balls
[Rhy. Fig 6]
They call her Domino
[Rhy. Fig 2a with Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
[Rhy. Fig 4 & 3b]
Got a reputation
Haven¥t got a hope
It¥s a sticky situation
If she ain¥t old enough to vote
[Rhy. Fig 5b]
Loves to play with fire
Loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin¥
Cause she¥s a bad habit, bad habit
[Rhy. Fig 6]
Bad habit that¥s good, good, good
They call her Domino
[Rhy. Fig 2a with Riff 4]
Domino, Domino
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 7]
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Every damn time I walk through the door
It¥s the same damn thing...
That bitch bends over
And I forget my name...Ow!
[Rhy. Fig 5c with Outro solo]
Loves lots of money
Back¥s against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she¥s
Got me by the balls
[Rhy. Fig 5b]
Loves to play with fire
Love her I confess
Got no hesitation, cause she¥s a
Bad habit, bad habit
She¥s a bad habit
[Rhy. Fig 8]
