Comments: I thought every single Iron Maiden song had been tabbed.  But then earlier today
I was looking for a tab of this song (because I'm too lazy to figure it out if I don't
have to), and I couldn't find it.  So I was like, what the fuck, I'll tab it myself
(because as long as I'm going to go through the trouble of figuring it out anyway, I
might as well help other people along).  So here is the tab, and I must say, I'm VERY
pleased with it.  If you spot a mistake anywhere (and I doubt you will), point it out to
me.  Later.
