There's also some kind of harmony line going on during this part.

On the second time end this part with a D5 chord.
Then the solo starts. And too bad I don't have it, because it's a
good one. But here's the rhythm:

Verse 3
Her eyes were hypnotizing, burning deep inside my brain
The lady in black was here now, she was here to take me far away..
Take me far away....
The rest of the song is just the same riffs as above but in
different combinations, and as it's Saturday night and I want
to go defile tombstones or whatever I'll leave it for you to
figure out. Bye.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MERCYFUL FATE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
