Ten Seconds To Love—Motley Crue
Transcribed by Ryan Adam (e-mail [email protected])
This tune is actually played on the record tuned to D. It works fine if you
tune standard, and Drop your low E to D, the only problem is the stretch when
playing the Bb of the Intro Riff (actually, the main riff of the song…) As
for the lead stuff being played throughout the song, the little things are
easy to figure out, the solo is a little tricky (for me, anyway). Have fun
with it, and if you have the s
olo, post it, cuz I’d like to see it.

Get ready for love

Verse:
Touch my gun
But don’t pull my trigger
Let’s make history
In the elevator
Or lock the door
Shine my pistol some more
Here I cum,
Just ten seconds more
Chorus:
Ten seconds to love (x2)
