Legend:
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
b = bend to note
rb = release bend
/ = slide to fret
~ = vibrato
PM... = palm-muting of dotted sections
x = pick scrape


Just one little point to make here - in the chorus, the tab reads
0------1------2. If you want, this part can be tremolo picked
(i.e. picked very fast) to give a better sound (in my opinion)
but you don’t have to do it.

Anyway, that’s this monster of a song done. Any questions, comments,
hate-mail, arguments about the best Maiden singer (because we all
know it’s Bruce Dickinson), blah, blah, blah, e-mail them to
the_godthat_failed@hotmail.com

Until next time, my friends.

Gtr II (Dave)

All these notes are played using the third finger so there are
also grace notes due to changing position but I've just shown
the basic fingerings. Most of the bends should be "overbent" and
shaken heavily.
