Absus2   4688xx
or just play Ab if that's easier as this is not originally in standard tuning.

   Holy Diver
            Cm                            Absus2
You've been down too long in the midnight sea

  Oh, what's becoming of me
 
Cm

You can hide in the sun till you see the light

  Oh, we will pray it's all right
      Ab
Gotta get away

Get away
 
[Bridge]
Cm   Bb               Absus2
   Between the velvet lies
Cm           Bb                   G
   There's a truth that's hard as steel
Cm     Bb           Absus2

   Life's a never ending wheel

You're the star of the masquerade

  No need to look so afraid
 
          Cm
Jump, jump, jump on the tiger
        Cm                               Ab
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Cm               Bb        Cm
  Some light can never be seen

I feel there's one chord missing: Holy Diver Ab You've been down to long in the midnight sea This applies for every verse. Everything else is flawless.

This song is good played on a 7-string. Preferably a Schecter Blackjack Sls C-7.
