VIBRATO: –4~~~–

NOTE FROM ASIER: Cómo estáis amigos? Sometimes as you read the tabs you will find that

 
although Dave and Jan are driving us crazy with  
A 
chord and  
A 
wild and horsy

rhythm in the tab there are just some chords. That’s because of saving space

and time by just putting the chords. the rhythm is not hard to work out, at

 
least if you have ever played  
A 
Maiden 
 
song.

NOTE FROM JOE: Upon printing the tab for this song on Zoso’s Iron Maiden site I discovered

that the lead guitar parts from the intro and the quiet bit after the first verse were

missing. I went home and figured it out by ear from the CD. Then I transcribed ‘Sanctuary’

properly last night so today I decided to tab this and mail it so all the Maiden fans who

were peed off ‘cos they couldn’t be bothered figuring it out now don’t have to. I haven’t

 
done the solo ‘cos I’m not much of  
A 
solo player (and if I can’t play ‘
Em 
, I sure as hell

can’t tab them!), but if you can play it then tab it and post it for the benefit of others.

This is the part of the song after verse one which sounds like the intro. It is like the

intro but not quite, so here are the tabs for it. It should also be played with the same

 
other guitar part as for the intro. The notes in brackets should be played  
A 
fraction 
 
of
 
A 
second before the next note, but if you find it annoying just leave them out and no-one

will really notice.
