  • Album:

For the greater good of god by Iron maiden
Tabbed by A Scott

This song is from the new album. It freakin' incredible!

Assuming you know the song well. All the basic guitar parts are transcribedhere.
Some parts are missing cause I couldn't be arsed writing them. Can't be
bothered writing the solos either (probably because I'm not that good yet!).
Anyway, you 'orrible lot should be able to work this out for yourselves!

This part may be on bass but I tabbed it for guitar anyways.
