Title : Mother Earth
Artist : Within Temptation
Album : Mother Earth
Capo : none
Setting : E-A-D-G-B-E
p.s.: a B#dimB#dim is the same as a CdimCdim (as well as F#dim, AdimAdim and D#dimD#dim),
but because after that diminished chord there comes a C# minorC#m and it's not
logical to have two C's in a key.
