SILVER SPOON (from the KISS CD "HOT IN THE SHADE")
--------------------

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com

Tuned down 1/2-step with capo at 2nd fret

Comments: Like the other songs on this album this is slightly "out of
tune". On top of that there¥s a capo at the 2nd fret and plenty of slide.
The solo is mixed incredibly low so it¥s hard to hear what¥s going on.
I gave it my best shot. At the end, when the gospel-like choir kicks in
there is probably guitar going on in the back but I find it impossible
to hear. I can¥t tell if it¥s voice or guitar at times. I¥ve left that
part out here. (Thanks to kirk590722@aol.com for help with desiphering
the gospel-like background vocals.)
