@SONG: THE TRIAL (Chambre Ardante)

Music by: King Diamond

La Reymie:

^Jeanne D'basson, You stand accused before the burning court

for practising witchcraft. Do you confess? We have ways

to make You talk How do You plead?^

Jeanne:

^I never did any harm to anyone. I don't believe this^

La Reymie:

^Lead the witch to the dungeon for the test...

bring out the glowing pins. Do it now|^

%

This is rotten to the core

Jeanne is naked on the floor

In the dungeon, they want more

La Reymie:

^Oh Jeanne, you feel so good^

La Reymie is touching her body

Wringled fingers all over her

La Reymie:

^So this is how You make with the devil

we're gonna get You, witchy woman

we will never believe in You

so you better repent Your sins now^

Sticking need'es into her skin yeah

In the dungeon blood is everywhere

Clowing need'es, need'es and pins yeah

She's getting weaker, no more pain to feel

La Reymie:

^We will never believe in You

so you better repent Your sins now^

^We are the servants of GOD, we believe in the devil

and we've found his mark on You, confess witch^

^Thoushalt not suffer a witch to live

who soever lieth with a beast shall surely be put the death^

Jeanne:

^Never did I lie with any beast of thine

dogs or cats or goats, now leave My soul alone^

La Reymie:

^He that sacrificeth unto any god save the lord only

he shall be utterly destroyed^

Jeanne:

'Now I hear, deceiving, lying tongues

never have I done no harm to anyone^

%

But they dis not turn her loose

Horns and tails and cloven hoof

Can You tell Me where's the proof

King Diamond's The Trial (Chambre Ardente) on the album The Eye.

Very good song. Has a lot of spirit, tempo changes and diff'rent rhythm.

Relativelay easy to play, so if you're a beginner and want to play

a King Diamond Song, this is the best song to learn (you'll improve

many skills in trying to play it)!

That's Rhythm 1

E |---------------|-----------------|---------------|--------------|

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

G |---------------|-----------------|---------------|-----4------5-|

D |---------------|-----------------|---------------|---3------4---|

E |-0-0-000---0---|-0-0-000-3-0-2(B)|-0-0-000---0---|--------------|

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

Here's Rhythm 2 (The same as 1 but with a slight variation on the last bar)

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-|

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

A |-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|

E |-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-|-0-0-0-0-0---|-0-0-0-0-0---|

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-|
