JOURNEY OF A 1,000 YEARS (from the KISS CD "PSYCHO CIRCUS")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: I like this tune. Feels a little like Gene?s Destroyer songs.
Very easy stuff, just look out for the arpeggiated D#dim chord in the
chorus. The solo is just simple melodic stuff played over the strings
which, as a nice little touch, mirror the pre-solo riff from Psycho Circus.
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

Journey of a 1,000 years
Simmons
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1]
I know just where you come from
Where all tour yesterdays are gone
[Rhy. Fig 2]
And now you?re done
But you?ve only just begun
It?s time you opened up the door
[Rhy. Fig 3]
And now it?s all very clear
This journey of a 1,000 years
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Can you feel it coming
Can you hear the sound
Can you feel it coming
Or is it the roar of the crowd
Can you feel it coming
Can you hear it
Or is it the roar of the crowd
[Rhy. Fig 5]
Did you sleep without dreams
Did you fly without wings
Did you touch without feel
Where nothing is real
Did you feel it coming
Did you hear it
Or is it the roar of the crowd
[Rhy. Fig 6]
[Rhy. Fig 7]
