Black Horsemen (ver 2) by King Diamond @SONG: BLACK HORSEMEN (7:39). SOLO: Mike So there they stood at the top of the stairs Miriam in the mood, Jonathan was scared Gazing into the dark, Jonathan saw the star For a second he turned his back And she was there like a ghost She him hard and clean To the bottom of the stairs "Now we're finally alone, Miriam Abigail is here to stay" The birth of Abigail would soon be realized The second coming of a devil in disguise And the moon did not shine It was darker than ever before On this sacred night The soul of Miriam was crying out in pain Remembering the day, arrival in the rain The pain of labour was so strong that Miriam died The final seeing was a pair of yellow eyes You can still hear her screaming If You're walking the stairs in July Riding from beyond The 7 Horsemen would arrive before the dawn Servants of the count, when Abigail was born the first time SOLO: Andy Oh no...they found her in the sarcophagus Baby Abigail was eating, Oh I cannot tell You "Take her...and bring her To the chapel in the forest So go now...The ceremony And the coffin's waiting" The Black Horsemen That's the end of another lullaby Time has come for me to say Goodnight SOLO: Mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- " Black Horsemen " by King Diamond from Abigail Music and Lyrics by King Diamond Tabbed and transcribed by Alex Huerta [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Legend : p = pull_off = Slide down h = hammer_on .. = Repeat for a while :-) / = Slide up x2 = Repeat it that time and another one. v = Vibrato rk = Rake ( play the strings one after the other ) tr= Trill = Natural Harmonics. r = release bt= bend and tap Guitar1 = 12-string Acoustic Guitar. Guitar2 = Nylon-acoustic Guitar. Guitar3 = Distorted Guitar. Guitar4 = Distorted Guitar with a strange effect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notes : King Diamond is GOD!! And this song proves it. This ain't no easy song, and it's a bitch to play it right, but it provides hours of fun for someone with those hours to waste :-) Thanxs go to Balva, a friend of mine and a damned fine guitarist, who helped me to figure out the 2nd solo ( even tough we never got it quite right ) and bought some beers and a bag of Nachos and invited me to his house this weekend to talk and play guitars. And they also go to Justin for telling me about the 12 string guitar used in the beginning of the song. The acoustic parts at the beginning are played with ( you guessed it ) an acoustic with 12 strings ( or a "bajosexto", as we call them here in Mexico ), so if you don't have one, you can do two things : 1) Play the part as it appears in the transcription, or 2) Play it one octave up the neck. When I put the chord names over the lyrics, it means that they should be arpeggiated as in the beggining of the tune. Also, don't expect to play this song without hearing the recording first. It's mandatory to hear the song before attempting to play it. The timing on some of the rhythms (sp?) are kind of wacko, so use your ear, man. This is my second tab, I may be getting good at this, but, if you find any mistake, please, e-mail me or send the correction to the tab archives.

With the exception of the second solo, I think that everything's pretty accurate... I didn't tab some of the acoustics behind, by example, RhyFig2, for 2 reasons : 1) They're easy to figure out, and 2) I ( when I :-) ) play in a one-guitar band, so the acoustic behind the electric is a no-no ( mind you, we're so desperate that I sing this one!!! ) Any comments, flames, requests, or if someone knows how to play any Steve Vai-era David Lee Roth songs or any Kansas song ( except Dust in The Wind and Carry On.. ) , or if someone has the tabs to "Roundabout" by Yes ( or any other Yes song, for that matter ), please feel free to e-mail me at : [email protected]
