 Standard tuning


 Comments: This is my favourite song on this album. The main riff kicks ass,


 the solo is cool, and I think that Gene, although strained at times, does


 a good job on the vocal.


 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




 ** = 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

 NAKED CITY
 Gene Simmons/Robert Kulick/Pepe Castro/Vini Poncia
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
 [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
 All the victims have turned to stone, no one is happy, they're all alone
 I'd sacrifice my social position tonight
 [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 2]
 In New York, millionaires, and lonely people with lonely stares
 I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
 In the naked city (in the city) there are ten million stories (naked city)
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
 I'm not lookin' for pity (in the city) in this naked city (naked city)
 [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
 Street vampires in the night, young lovers and love at first sight
 This is my flesh and my fantasy
 [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 2]
 Older women with younger men, I've got a feelin' I'm in trouble again
 But I've got to live my destiny
 [Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 4] (2x)
 In the naked city (in the city) it's a race with the devil (naked city)
 All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
 [Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Rhy. Fig 4]
 In the naked, naked city (in the city) naked city
 [Solo over Rhy. Fig 6 w/ Rhy. Fig 7]
 [Rhy. Fig 8] (9x)
 Lonely people lookin' for someone, lonely people goin' their way
 Lonely people lookin' for something, lonely people goin' their way
 [Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 2 and Rhy. Fig 9]
 In New York, millionaires, lonely people with lonely stares
 I'm not lookin' for love and I'm lost in this night
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Rhy. Fig 4] (4x)
 In the naked city, there are ten million stories
 I'm not lookin' for pity in this naked city
 In the naked, naked city (in the city), it's a race with the devil (naked city)
 All the pain and the sorrow (in the city) is there more tomorrow (naked city)
 [Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Rhy. Fig 4 and Outro solo]
 (In the city, naked city)
