RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER - IRON MAIDEN ----------------------------------------- This piece of tab has been created using a big piece from a Hal Leonard transcription to this song, that was once posted on the net. I filled in the gaps (especially the first and last verses (at 114 bpm) and the interludes at 114 bpm), with a little help from a guitar transcription. Have fun playing it, Wilbert Pol Legend : w - whole note W - whole rest h - half note H - half rest q - quarter note Q - quarter rest e - eigth note E - eigth rest s - sixteenth note S - sixteenth rest t - thirty-second note T - thirty-second rest + - sustain into next note . - multiply note/rest length by 1.5 ie. e. = e + s {3} - a triplet ca 114 bpm

------- verse 1. Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner see his eyes as he stops one of three mesmerises one of the wedding guests stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea and the music plays on as the bride passes by caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale verse 2. Driver south to the land of the snow and ice to a place where nobody's been through the snow fog flies on the albatross hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings and the ship sails on, back to the North through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on verse 3. The Mariner kills the bird of good omen his shipmates cry against what he's done but when the fog clears, they justify him and make themselves a part of the crime sailing on and North across the sea sailing on and North 'til all is calm verse 4. The albatross begins with its vengeance a terrible curse a thirst has begun his shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner about his neck, the dead bird is hung and the curse goes on and on at sea and the curse goes on and on for them and me verse 5. "Day after day, day after day, we struck nor breath nor motion as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean water, water, everywhere and all the boards did shrink water, water, everywhere nor any drop to drink" verse 6. There, calls the Mariner, there comes a ship over the line but how can she sail with no wind and no tide See ...onward she comes onward she nears, out of the sun See ...she has no crew she has no life, wait but there's two verse 7. Death and she Life in Death, they throw their dice for the crew she wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now Then ...crew one by one they drop down dead, two hundred men She ...she, Life in Death she lets him live, her chosen one verse 8. (Narrative) "One after one by the star dogged moon, too quick for groan or sigh each turned his face with a ghastly pang, and cursed me with his eye four times fifty living men (and I heard nor sigh nor groan) with heavy thump, a lifeless lump, they dropped down one by one" verse 9. The curse it lives on in their eyes the Mariner he wished he'd die along with the sea creatures but they lived on, so did he verse 10. And by the light of the moon he prays for their beauty not doom with heart he blesses them God's creatures all of them too verse 11. Then the spell starts to break the albatross falls from his neck sinks down like lead into the Sea then down in falls comes the rain verse 12. Hear the groans of the long dead seaman see them stir and start to rise bodies lifted by good spirits none of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes And revenge is still sought, penance start again cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on verse 13. Now the curse is finally lifted and the Mariner sights his home spirits go from the long dead bodies form their own light and the Mariner's left alone verse 14. And then a boat came sailing towards him it was a joy he could not believe the Pilot's boat, his son and the hermit penance of life will fall onto Him and the ship it sinks like lead into the sea and the hermit shrieves the mariner of his sins verse 15. The Mariner's bound to tell his story to tell his tale wherever he goes to teach God's word by his own example that we must love all things that God made And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man and the tale goes on and on and on
