Band: Graveworm
Album: Scourge of Malice
Song: Fear of the Dark (Iron Mayden cover)
Copyright (c) Neon Knights records 2001
Version 1.0 - 2002
Transcribed By: Chayns of Demolishment
Email: infernal_purge@hotmail.com
Note: Many people think this version is made by Cradle of Filth.
So I want to let Thee all know Cradle has never touched this song!
Note: Iron Mayden plays this song in D minor, Graveworm in A minor.
So do not mistake by the Iron Mayden original and judging
this tab on the key it is written in, because it is correct!
Note: tune down one whole step

Note:
There is a string ensemble playing the passage initially played by
the acoustic guitar. There are some differences between this
version and the original.
Note:
There is a bagpipe solo with many blue notes, which are not tabbed,
because the tab would be too large and it is impossible for a bagpipe
to play at the speed on the CD without any blue notes.
Note:
= let ring
