#MAGIC TOUCH (from the KISS CD "DYNASTY")
#
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Now this is a good song. Paul had a special tendency around this
time (and the early 80's) to use the third even when playing through some
serious distorsion. It is a little harsh on the ears at times, but here it
gives the song character. Riff 2 is played, as you can see, by two guitars,
both using E-bows. It's a mechanical device that you put against the string
(just one at a time) and there are little wheel-like structures that spin
on the string causing it to resonate as long as there's contact. This means
that you don't have to pick the string which is why I've used slides in the
tab.

MAGIC TOUCH
Paul Stanley
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She's got the magic touch
And you're walkin' around in a dream
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't what it seems
[Rhy. Fig 3]
You feel there's a fire burnin'
But she feels cold inside
But you still want her much too much
But then when she leaves you lonely
You won't be satisfied (won't be satisfied)
Until you feel her magic touch
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She's got the magic touch
And you're under a spell that she's cast
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't gonna last
[Rhy. Fig 3]
She's keepin' her love light shinin'
To blind you from her lie (blind you from her lie)
But you still need her oh so much
And when she says she's leaving
That's when you realize (when you realize)
How much you need her magic touch
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Rhy. Fig 4b] (3x)
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Riff 2
Until the night in the bright
She'll be there
As she prances by your arms
While your dreams fade away
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She's got the magic touch
And you're walkin' around in a dream
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't what it seems
[Rhy. Fig 6]
One day when she leaves you lonely
You'll miss her oh so much
Until you feel her magic touch (feel her magic touch)
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Her magic touch, her magic touch
(Feel her magic touch), her magic touch
[Rhy. Fig 7a w/ Rhy. Fig 7b]
She's got the magic touch, I really want her
[Rhy. Fig 7a w/ Rhy. Fig 7b w/ Riff 3]
She's got the magic touch, and I still need her
[Rhy. Fig 7a w/ Rhy. Fig 7b]
She's got the magic touch, I really want her
(repeat and fade)

MAGIC TOUCH
Paul Stanley
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She's got the magic touch
And you're walkin' around in a dream
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't what it seems
[Rhy. Fig 3]
You feel there's a fire burnin'
But she feels cold inside
But you still want her much too much
But then when she leaves you lonely
You won't be satisfied (won't be satisfied)
Until you feel her magic touch
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She's got the magic touch
And you're under a spell that she's cast
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't gonna last
[Rhy. Fig 3]
She's keepin' her love light shinin'
To blind you from her lie (blind you from her lie)
But you still need her oh so much
And when she says she's leaving
That's when you realize (when you realize)
How much you need her magic touch
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Her magic touch, her magic touch, her magic touch
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Rhy. Fig 4b] (3x)
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ Riff 2
Until the night in the bright
She'll be there
As she prances by your arms
While your dreams fade away
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She's got the magic touch
And you're walkin' around in a dream
She's got the magic touch
Oh no, but it ain't what it seems
[Rhy. Fig 6]
One day when she leaves you lonely
You'll miss her oh so much
Until you feel her magic touch (feel her magic touch)
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Her magic touch, her magic touch
(Feel her magic touch), her magic touch
[Rhy. Fig 7a w/ Rhy. Fig 7b]
She's got the magic touch, I really want her
[Rhy. Fig 7a w/ Rhy. Fig 7b w/ Riff 3]
She's got the magic touch, and I still need her
[Rhy. Fig 7a w/ Rhy. Fig 7b]
She's got the magic touch, I really want her
(repeat and fade)
