CHEMICAL WEDDING
As recorded by Bruce Dickinson
(From the 1998 Album THE CHEMICAL WEDDING)
Words by Bruce Dickinson
Music by Bruce Dickinson/Roy Z
Transcribed by Jefferson Camargo (JEFFMETAL)
E-mail: utopianblaster@terra.com.br
This is the title track of the masterpiece by Bruce Dickinson's fantastic
solo band! This tune has this odd setting of Roy Z with a guitar tuned
in standard mode and then Adrian with his axe tuned 2 1/2 steps down. On
Scream For Me Brazil, the rhythm under the middle section is done as
i tabbed here; on the studio album however, there are keyboards
filling the harmony and also some guitars srumming the chords
when they change.
Gtr I - Roy Z (E A D G B E) - 'Untitled'
Gtr II - Adrian (B E A D F# B) - 'Untitled'
Gtr.III - (E A D G B E)
Gtr.IV - (B E A D F# B)
4/4
Intro (2x till coda)
