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

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-|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------5-|-----------5-|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|

    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---|

    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

    PM/   PM-------/         PM/   PM--/   Let Ring

Rhythm 8, 2 times (King sings : "La Reymie is touching her....":
E|------------------|----------------|-----------------|------------|

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

Rhythm 9 (played 4 times)          Rhythm 10 (played 4 times w/ lick)
