       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 perdi tu
direccin 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.
