This is my first tab. Maybe not the easiest one but anyways ;p Here you've got the most common Live version of Fear of the Dark by Iron Maiden. It's best to listen to the song to get the rhythms. Tabbed in order as the song is. This is what I hear is correct. Any corrections/recommendations? please tell me through the comment section. I'm sorry about that im not tabbing the solo but look at a normal version (not live) i know some have the solos ;) s = Slide h = hammer-on p = pull-off (#) = last note still rings Intro
