TOUGH LOVE (from the KISS album "REVENGE")

Tuned down whole-step to D

Comments: Almost heavy metal this one. During the last pre-chorus, riffs

4a and 4b are extended by one bar of E5-chords. Everything is pretty

Straight-forward, the solo is harmless so to speak and most of the fills

Are too. Only the outro solo gets a little fast.
