This song is reminiscent of "GOD OF THUNDER". Cool Intro riff and some
harmony guitar lines. The solo is just feedback and noise, so I didn't
bother to transcribe it. Turn on your Delay and do it your way! I did do
some of the licks between parts. Enjoy!

Ahh, ha
 
[Main Riff 1.] (2x)
I'm almost human, can't help feelin' strange
The moon is out, I think I'm gonna change
 
[Rhythm Fig 1.]
You're so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream
I've got to have you, baby, I'm listenin' for your scream
 
[Main Riff 1.] (2x)
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, ooh
 
[Main Riff 1.] (2x)
I'm almost human, baby please don't run away
'Cause wherever you run I'll be a scream away
 
[Solo Riff 1.]
[Rhythm Fig 1.]
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love
 
[Main Riff 1.] (2x)
I'm almost human, oh, almost a man
I'm almost human, whoo
[End Riff 1.]
[Solo w/Rhythm Fig 1.]
 
[Rhythm Fig 1. w/Solo Riff 2.]
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love
 
[Main Riff 1.] (Repeat Until 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
