THE IDES OF MARCH

by Iron Maiden

Tabbed by John Twynam (wratchild@geocities.com)

This is the intro riff (both guitars):

E-------------------|------------------|------------------|-------------

D---9--------11-----|--12--------7--9--|--10--------9-----|-------------

G---9--------7-----|--9--------7-----|----------------------------------

D---9--------7-----|--9--------7-----|----------------------------------

A---7--------5-----|--7--------5-----|----------------------------------

E------------------|-----------------|----------------------------------

Then some harmony starts (2 guitars - one plays the upper notes, the

other plays the lower notes):

E------|------------------|--------------------|------------------------

D-----------------------|-------------------|------|--------------------

A-----------------------|-------------------|------|--------------------

E-----------------------|-------------------|------|--------------------

Then the rhythm guitar plays this (twice):

E---------------------------------------------|-------------------------

Then it goes back and plays the part with the harmony again. Here's the

solo (I'm not sure if I got all the bar lines in the right place):
