#THE OATH (from the KISS CD "THE ELDER")
#
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Heavy metal for days. Well, at least the riffs are metal, I'm
not sure about Paul's vocals though. A little bit too castrato perhaps.
Not much to this one really, just mute the riffs properly and look out
for Riff 2. It's not readily apparent but it's there. I like the chords
during the bridge (Rhy. Fig 8). There's no real solo here so I've just
called the little breaks and fills for Riffs.

THE OATH
Paul Stanley
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 2]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 2]
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Now compelled by something that I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history
[Rhy. Fig 5a]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
[Rhy. Fig 5a w/ Rhy. Fig 5b]
Your power, I trust it watching me
[Rhy. Fig 6a w/ Rhy. Fig 6b]
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Through a dream I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 2]
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns
[Rhy. Fig 5a]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
[Rhy. Fig 5a w/ Rhy. Fig 5b]
Your power, I trust it watching me
[Rhy. Fig 6a w/ Rhy. Fig 6b]
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 1 and Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 3]
[Rhy. Fig 7 w/ Rhy. Fig 8]
I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me?
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ End 2]
[Rhy. Fig 4 w/ Riff 2]
Now compelled by something that I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history
[Rhy. Fig 5a w/ Riff 3]
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
[Rhy. Fig 5a w/ Rhy. Fig 5b]
Your power, I trust it watching me
[Rhy. Fig 6a w/ Rhy. Fig 6b]
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
