#SECRETLY CRUEL (from the KISS CD “ASYLUM”)
#
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: This song suffers more than most from the poor production on
this album. The separation is terrible and the high frequencies are too
accentuated. Thus it is kind of hard to pick out certain things. The
problem I had with this is the chorus riff. I think it’s something like
Rhy. Fig , but I won’t bet the house on it. The fills that pop up here
and there are basically rock ‘n’ roll standards. As a brief history
lesson, most of these fills are variations on the main riff in Mr. Speed
(check out the beginning of Riff 1).

SECRETLY CRUEL
Gene Simmons
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1a]
[Rhy. Fig 1b]
[Rhy. Fig 1a] (3x)
I saw my pictures hangin’ on her wall
She cut it out of that magazine
It was a hot day, she wore lingerie
And nothin’ else in between, ooh
She had long hair and thigh high snake skin boots
And she was all over me like a cheap suit
[Rhy. Fig 2a w/ Riff 2]
Then she bared herself, aha
And stripped my soul
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Began to shake, rattle, and roll
Then I took control, yeah
[Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 4a] (2x)
But I know she’s secretly cruel
I ain’t nobody’s fool
Yeah, I know she’s secretly cruel
Just when I though it was safe
She puts her lips to my face
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
She’s secretly, secretly cruel
[Rhy. Fig 1a] (2x)
Well she grabbed my hair
And I began to rise
I could tell what she wanted
By that look in her eyes, oh, ow
By that look in her eyes, yeah
I said “Come here babe and make it quick”
She said “Not so fast”
And had a drink
[Rhy. Fig 2b w/ Riff 4]
Well it ain’t just luck
But I better knock on wood
[Rhy. Fig 3]
She’s gonna give me everything
Somehow I knew she would
[Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 4a] (2x)
Oh, but I know she’s secretly cruel
I ain’t nobody’s fool
Well, I know she’s secretly cruel
I said baby you’re the fire, but I am the fuel
[Rhy. Fig 4b]
She’s secretly, secretly cruel
Yeah, so cruel
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 1a (3x]
[Rhy. Fig 2a w/ Riff 5]
Well it ain’t just luck (ain’t just luck)
But I better knock on wood, yeah
[Rhy. Fig 3]
She’s gonna give me everything
Somehow I knew she would
[Riff 3]
[Rhy. Fig 4a w/ Riff 6]
Oh, but I know she’s secretly cruel
I ain’t nobody’s fool, nobody’s fool
[Rhy. Fig 4a] (repeat and fade)
Secretly, she’s so cruel (cruel)
I’m in love, but I don’t play the fool
Secretly, she’s so cruel, secretly, so cruel
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah
I know she’s secretly, she’s so cruel, secretly, so cruel
Cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah, cruel, yeah
I know she’s secretly, she’s so cruel, secretly, she’s so cruel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, secretly, secretly cruel, cruel
