(Numbers after the chord indicates the amount of bars the chord durates.
One bar is four beats. I.e. E5 - 2 mean play an E5-chord (power of course)
and maintain it for eight beats. Simple as hell.) Solo (pick really fast up to I) I

Maintain last note until singing stops.
Rythm Guitar (K.K. I think) plays plays Riff 2 four times and lead guitar
joins on 2nd time (drums 'n bass enters 3rd time). When this done end with
a long-maintained B5 power chord and the tempo drops to guess what.)
Spoken part: Play intro riff eight times.
After spoken part: Riff 1 (Tempo rise of course)
Then comes Pre-Chorus riff TWICE
And finally: Chorus riff many times before fading away.
Howling winds keep screaming round
And the rain comes pouring down
Doors are locked and bolted now
As the thing crawls into town
Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler
Sanctuary is being sought
Whispered prayers a last resort
Homing in its' cry distorts
Terror struck they know they're caught
Straight out of hell
One of a kind
Stalking his victim
Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler
Beware the beast in black
Nightcrawler
You know he's coming back
Night Crawler
As night is falling
The end is drawing near
They'll hear
Their last rites echo on the wind
Huddled in the cellar
Fear caught in their eyes
Daring not to move or breathe
As the creature cries
Fingernails start scratching
On the outside wall
Clawing at the windows
"Come to me" it calls
Atmosphere's electric
As it now descend the stairs
Hiding in the darkness
Is so futile from its glare
Death comes in an instant
As they hoped it would
Souls ascend to heaven
While it feasts on flesh and blood.
