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)

Intro- G,C,D
       G,C,D 

            G
It's been a month or two since I've been sleeping with you.
           C                  D
I'm comin' home again.
             G                                                C             D
I've been to east and west but baby I like best the road that leads to you.
   C                                 D         N.C.
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.
It's true, I'm not sure if you knew.... I'm comin' home to you.

         N.C.
I'm comin' home baby...

(Interlude)-Repeate 2 times.

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...
