Verse





        The verse has the same chords that the part above, but they're

played with distortion. Hear very carefully the song so you can catch

the rhythm.



Here are the lyrics:



Have you run your fingers down the wall

And have you felt your neck skin crawl

When you're searching for the light

Sometimes when you're scared to take a look

At the corner of the room

You've sensed that something's watching you





Solo:



(The easy part)



E|---------------------------------------------|

B|---------------------------------------------|

G|-7--7-7-9-10-9~-10-9-7--7--------------------|

D|--------------------------10-8--8-7-5-7^-7~--|

E|---------------------------------------------|



E|---------------------------------------------|

G|-7--7-7-9-10-9~-10-9-7--7----------5-7~------|

D|--------------------------10-8-7-5-----------|

D|-7----7---------------7------------------10-7------------------------------

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------





{Solo-Really-Fast-Difficult-To-Catch}



Solo:



(Again, an easy part)



E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B|-------10-6-8~-------10-6-8-6----------------------------------------------

G|-7-7-7---------7-7-7----------------10-7-9~-------10-7-9-5--------7-3-5----

D|------------------------------8-8-8---------8-8-8-----------5-5-5----------

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------



E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

G|-------10-7-9-------7----7-5---5-7---7-5---5-------------------------------

D|-7-7-7--------10-7--7--7-----7-----7-----7---------------------------------

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------



        Then, comes the Chorus again, the last verse, and the outro,

that is similar to the Intro, so you can get it easy.





        If you have an idea about the Really-Fast-Solo, or if you

want to talk about another Iron Maiden's Tab, feel free to drop me

some lines about it.
