The Prisoner by Iron Maiden(Smith/Harris)

1st time 2nd time

MAIN RIFF: Listen for the strumming and muting of the B power chord.

For the next two parts I`ll just show the basic idea: Listen for the muting. RUN, FIGHT, Etc.:

Gtr II: (Adrian)

Gtr I: (Dave)

NOW YOU SEE ME...:

BREAK THE WALLS...

If the above Bsus4 chord is to hard to play as written play it like this:

Chorus

Let chords ring as much as possible.

BASSLINE FOR CHORUS:

BREAK AFTER 2nd CHORUS: Played over intro riff, then over the following chord sequence which I have called the Rhythm for Solo`s. Note that while the repeating pattern is playing only use an F# power chord, do not play it as a major or minor chord. The repeating pattern can be varied during the Bm section by alternatively hammering on to the 12th fret instead of the 11th. I`ve written it bar by bar to show the syncopation.

2nd time solo starts

RHYTHM FOR SOLO`S:

ENDING: Play through chorus and end with I know where I`m going

Gtr Solo 1: (Adrian) With Chorus
