This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

The Spider's Lullabye by King Diamond from The Spider's Lullabye
Music and Lyrics by King Diamond
Tabbed and transcribed by Alex Huerta ( marilion@imparcial.com.mx )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legend :
p = pull_off \ = Slide down
h = hammer_on ... = Repeat the pattern until you reach the note.
/ = Slide up x2 = Repeat it that time and another one.
v = Vibrato rk = Rake ( play the strings one after the other )
Guitar1 = Harpsichord.
Guitar2 = Distorted Guitar.
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...

Lyrics ( With RhyFig1 ) :
-------------------------
"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.
