Guitar3 = Organ with the 6th string ( the low E ) tuned to C#
Guitar4 = Clean guitar.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes :
This is one of the easiest King Diamond songs, IMHO, but it's a good one
nevertheless. It can be played by one guitarist and a keyboard player with
the keyboard taking the "Solo" and the guitar keeping the rhythm going.
The solo is played this way : you go down the string playing a repeating
pattern of one note and the other two frets away from the first
( i.e., 19 and 21, 18 and 20, etc. ) until you reach the last note on the
tab. It's only and aprox, because it doesn't sound like he ( the one
playing the solo :-) is following a scale or something.
This is dedicated to Fernanda.
Esto es para el Asterix : Oye cabron, mandame un mail!!! se me perdió tu
dirección y tengo algunas preguntas que hacerte :-) BTW, el CD llego al
chingaso ( que significa muy bien ). Andale, no te hagas del rogar...

"Here comes another one... Hahahahahahaha
He's got to find a doctor, a very special doctor
Someone who can cure his mind
Someone who knows Harry's kind"
Then do RhyFig2 once, and after that RhyFig3 once. Then,
Hear the Spider's Lullabye.
