Artist - Iron maiden
song - Out of the silent planet
Album - Brave new world
Tabbed by A.Scott
Here is my transcription of,
in my opinion, one of maiden's best songs.
Its without a solo though.
Enjoy!

Verse

The verse is quite difficult to tab.
I think that one guitar strums
these notes quickly
while the others just play the chords.
Listen to the song to hear the
guitar which does this.
The sound level is quite
low on it because the bass guitar
drowns it out.
pre chorus
'The punishment is death'

'Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation,
Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation.'
e ------------------------------------------------------------B ------------------------------------------------------------G --9--9-9-9-9-----5--5-5-5-5-----------------7--7-7-7-7------D --9--9-9-9-9-----5--5-5-5-5--5--5-5-5-5-----7--7-7-7-7------A --7--7-7-7-7-----3--3-3-3-3--5--5-5-5-5-----5--5-5-5-5------E -----------------------------3--3-3-3-3---------------------
when this chorus is played the
second time around (2 mins
49 seconds into the song), it goes like this-
Riff F

I don't think this bit is palm muted.
One guitar keeps playing this
under the mimic lines
Below is the fill played over the the top of the
chorus riff above. Listen for the timing.

I suggest that now you
go up to the bottom end
of the guitar, because
it makes the bends easier in my opinion.
