------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE KISS - Judee Sill ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The middle 8 proved a tricky beast to tame. I think it's OK though. Had to work some of it out on piano and the middle 8 chords don't translate as well to a guitar with standard tuning. It's a fantastic song though, so I hope you enjoy playing it.

MIDDLE 8: And lately sparklin' hosts Come fill my dreams descendin' on firey beams I've seen 'em come clear down Where our poor bodies lay Soothe us gently and say, "Gonna wipe all your tears away" And still I hear their whisper VERSE 5: Love risin' from the mists Promise me this and only this Holy breath touchin' me Like a wind song Sweet communion of a kiss...
