Transcribed by Eddie Breslin


I've transcribed the album version (from Iron Maiden),
but wherever overdubs and the like are concerned I've
used the live arrangement.(And that's why Gtr II is
referred to as Adrian).

INTRO:
                                             repeat 3x
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|------4--4h5p4-----7--4-----5--4-----------------------|
|--5h7-----------5--------5--------5--4--5--7-----------|
|----------------------------------------------2~-------|
|-------------------------------------------------------|

THEN (RIFF C-during verses)
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|------4--4h5p4-----7--4-----5--4------------------|
|--5h7-----------5--------5--------5--4--5--7------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|

   Gtr II:

|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

   Gtr I:
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------7-7-7--8-8-8--12-12-12--13-13-13--15-15-15-------|
|--7-7-7--9-9-9---------------------------------------------------|

|--17-17-17------------17----------17----------17-----------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

THEN repeat the following several times.
   Gtr I (Dave)

Then both guitars                                      repeat 3x
   F#m                         Gm

|--2-2-2--5-2-2--2-2-2--5-2-2--2-2-2--5-2-2--5--5--5--------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|

The verses are made up of RIFF A, RIFF B and RIFF C.

        RIFF C - RIFF B - RIFF C - RIFF B

        RIFF A - RIFF B - RIFF A - RIFF B

4/4 Section (Keep Your Distance...)
Listen for the muting. At the end of the section just
play the first part before going into the solo.
   E(m)                                        D repeat 2x
