All other songs for this album are one half step below standard, and the live version of Hotter Than Hell on Alive! is one half-step down also. Just be aware of this when you play along with either the album or studio version. Note values are written above the staff: w=whole note, h= half q=quarter, e=eighth, etc. A rest will be followed by an 'r'. 'Ghost' or 'grace' notes (such as in bar 3 of riff 1) will be noted by an *. Lyrics will be under staff, as physically close to their rhythmic placement in the song as ASCII will allow. Song is in 4/4.
