This is a supplement/replacement for the version already at OLGA. I 
tabbed the studio version.

Comin' Home - by KISS
Originally recorded on the album Hotter Than Hell (1974)
Words and Music by Paul Stanley

Transcribed by Mark Vignati (gs01mcv@panther.gsu.edu)

Tune guitars down 1/2 step (to Eb)

The letters above the staff are time values for notes
w=whole note, q=quarter, e=eighth, etc.
Rests are noted with an 'r' after the note value of the rest.

Intro: (both guitars)

            G
It's been a month or two since I've been sleeping with you.
           C                  D

Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world... Seems to say.
                G
Hotels they all look the same, just seem to drive me insane,
            C                 D
but I can't get away.
              G
Until I recieve a call that tells me that will be all
        C                     D
and the I hop a plane.
        C                         D             N.C.

End in Fanfare.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Special Notes: During the strumming parts of the interlude I believe KISS
uses a Cadd9 before they change to the D chord, but I like the way the G
chord sounds better. So try it out both ways and pick your fave! Also the
Unplugged version might be different from the Hotter Than Hell version so if
it is you'll have to adjust timing, etc...

KISS - Comin' Home - Iceman IC400 Demo.
Quicktime recording of "Comin' Home". No titles or editing on this one, just experimenting with using the video capturing capability of my Olympus C-8080.

Kiss - Comin' Home
Acoustic version of the Kiss song. I even recorded a backing track to play over. Check out my original music at: zebox.com My gear: an Ovation Celebrity CS-257, a motu828mkii on firewire, and KRK Systems Rokit 5 powered speakers. The backing track was made in Power Tab Editor and Cakewalk SONAR. And I used a Samson microphone to record the backing vocals.
