*The last note in the measure is the first note in the next one. That is
why the first note is in brackets. A real nice way to play the bracketed
is with a pinch harmonic.
gives it a great sound.

*On the second time after you play the E cord use the whammy bar to get the
effect that Adrian Smith does live from time to time.

*The notes in brackets are again optional. This is the way i prefer to play the
song and you may not like it so that is why those notes are placed in brackets.

*Now this is my first tab and I am pretty sure that what I have given is 99%
accurate. I am currently working on the solo (to be added later.) So any
questions or comments feel free to e-mail me.

Oh and last but not least: UP THE IRONS!!!
