Subject: "Running Free" solo
Here is the tab for the solo in "Running Free" by Iron Maiden.
The existing
tab in OLGA is fine except that only one out of two guitar parts
is tabbed.
Cheers, Sergei.
It's not really needed to tab the verses, bridges and the chorus.
It's mostly
variations on Em.
Intro: Em G-F#-D-Em C D The chords from G to Em are 8th notes approx.
Verse:Em C D Em G A etc
Chorus: Em G D-Em C D
RUNNING FREE
(solo)
I tabbed it as two parts, each one is for two guitars.
Every note played on the first guitar corresponds to a note on
the second.

Just sixteen a pickup truck
Out of money and out of luck
I've got no place to call my own
Hit the gas and here I go
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
Spend the night in an L.A. jail
Listen to the sirens wail
But they ain't got a thing on me
I'm running wild I'm Running free
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
Pulled her at the Bottle Top
whisky dancing disco hop
And all the boys are after me
And that's the way it's gonna be.
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
