ALMOST HUMAN

Gene Simmons



[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)

Ahh, ha

[Riff 1]

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)



[Rhy. Fig 1]

I'm almost human, can't help feelin' strange

The moon is out, I think I'm gonna change



[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b]

You're so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream

I've got to have you, baby, I'm listenin' for your scream



[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)

I'm almost human, I'm almost a man

I'm almost human, ooh



[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)

I'm almost human, baby please don't run away

[Riff 2]

'Cause wherever you run I'll be a scream away



[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b]

I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of

Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love



[Rhy. Fig 1]

I'm almost human, oh, almost a man

[Rhy. Fig 4]

I'm almost human, whoo



[Solo over Rhy. Fig 1]



[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b and Riff 3]

I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of

Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love



[Rhy. Fig 1] (repeat and fade)

I'm almost human, I'm almost a man

I'm almost human, I'm almost human

I'm almost human, I'm almost human

I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost a man

I'm almost human

Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost, almost human

I'm almost human, I'm almost human

I'm almost human, almost a man

I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost

I'm almost human
