Revelations(Live) from Live After Death CD by Iron Maiden(Dickinson)
Play the open C chord part by strumming evenly up and down through the chord rather than explicity picking the single notes.
C D repeat 3x G A G
RIFF A: Oh! God of earth and alter... | At the end of the verse stay on the G chord before going into harmony.
BASSLINE: The bass mirrors the guitar riff except when the vocals enter he plays:
HARMONY: Gtr III: (Bruce) (RHYTHM 1)
Gtr I: (Dave)
Gtr II: (Adrian) repeat 2x

RIFF B(i): Play with upstrokes
RIFF B: Play with upstrokes
VERSES:
PLAY RHYTHM 1 (Both Guitars). Dave sticks fairly close to the picking pattern but Adrian varies it sligthly. Dave`s guitar has a phaser on it and Adrians is chorused.
