E |-000000--0-0--|-000000--0-6--|-000000--0-0--|-000000--0----|

After that, play the rhythms above in that order : Rhythm 2, 1, 3, 1.

Now for the first solo :

By the way, I'll call the rhythm under the first solo : RHYTHM 4

And Here's the 5th Rhythm played 3 times (The last time, play only the 2 first
bars)
E |-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|
B |-----------------|-----------------|-----------8-|-----------8-|
G |-----------------|-----------------|-----------7-|-----------7-|

PM------------/ PM------------/ PM------/ PM------/
(*) Take Care of that G5 chord, I find it very hard to do. Here's a
tip : upstrike it! If you still are unable to strike it in time,
try to take it on the A string at fret 10, it's easier but doesn't
sound the same.

Rhythm 6 (2 times):
E |------------|------------|------------|---------------|
B |------------|------------|------------|---------------|
G |---------3--|---------3--|---------5--|---4-------3---|
D |---------3--|---------3--|---------5--|---4-------3---|
A |---------1--|---------1--|---------3--|---2-------1---|
E |-0-00000----|-0-00000----|-0-00000----|-0-------0-----|
PM-----/ Pm-----/ PM-----/ PM PM
(*) There's lot of tremolo bar-harmonic-reverb-echo effect over this part.

Rhythm 7 :
E |-------------|-----------|------------|---------|
B |-------------|-----------|------------|---------|
G |-------------|-----------|------------|-------5-| <-- Very weird sounding
D |-------------|-----------|------------|-----4---| chord, I love it!
A |-------------|-----------|------------|---3-----| King Diamond's a
E |-2222--00300-|2222-------|2222--00300-|-2-------| genius!
PM/ PM-------/ PM/ PM--/ Let Ring

Rhythm 8, 2 times (King sings : "La Reymie is touching her....":
E |------------------|----------------|-----------------|------------|
B |------------------|----------------|-----------------|------------|
G |------------------|----------------|-----------------|------------|
D |------7----7--8---|-7----7--8--5---|------7----7--8--|-3---2---5--|

E |-5--5-5--5-5--6--5|-5--5-5--6--3---|-5--5-5--5-5--6--|-1---0---3--|
PM-/ PM PM PM P--/ PM

Now play Rhythm 7, 8 (again 2 times), 7.

B |---------------|-------------| |---------|----------|

A |-2-2-----------|-------------| |-7--5--3-|--2--3--5-|
E |------5-5--3-3-|--2-2--3--5--| |---------|----------|

Here's the lick played 2 times over Rhythm 10
