"The Spider's Lullaby" (Music & Lyrics by King Diamond)
In a little cottage in the countryside
Lives a man named Harry
And he is losing his mind
Listen... Hear the Spider's Lullaby
It's really sad for Harry, He finds a spider scary
Even the smallest species will make him feel uneasy
Oh, they live in every corner
Oh, and here comes another
There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it!
Soon to be another creamy spot
As he woke up this morning, there was a spider crawling
He felt a big suprise before it caught his eyes
Oh, it was between his face
Oh, and his pillow case
There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it!
Soon to be another creamy spot
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
Listen... Hear the Spider's Lullaby
Those creepy crawly creatures
With all thier hairy features
Hoping to catch a fly
Singing it's deadly lullaby
Oh... Oh, NO...
There's another spider on his wall... Gotta kill it!-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Music and Lyrics by King Diamond
Tabbed and transcribed by Alex Huerta ( [email protected] )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
direcci—n 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

Then do RhyFig2 once, and after that RhyFig3 once. Then,
Hear the Spider's Lullabye.
