#Black Diamond is one of the best known KISS songs of all time. It has been used for years as
#the ending of almost every KISS show. This version features the decending pitch at the end of
#the song. Ace bases his leads on the A minor blues scale. He uses some cool string skipping and
#pull-offs and hammer-ons to improvise on the basic blues positions. This creates some great
#lead work and easy to remember lines.

Got you under their thumb
Hit it
[Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)
[Rhythm Fig. 2]
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb
[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 3a] w/[Riff. 1]
Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond
[Rhythm Fig. 1]
[Rhythm Fig. 2a]
Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too
And though you don't ask for pity
There's nothin' that you can do, no, no
[Rhythm Fig. 3] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 3a]
Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond
[Solo. 1] w/[Solo. 2]
[Solo. 3] w/ [Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)

Whoo, black diamond
