The Fallen Angel Guitar Tabs by Iron Maiden

IRON MAIDEN - THE FALLEN ANGEL

tabbed by James Rae - jbrae@undergrad.math.uwaterloo.ca

this is probably the heaviest song off the brave new world album
It kicks ass.
This is missing the solos, and parts of it are wrong, so feel free
to correct it (let me know if you do!)

* chug on these as you please
it's tough to get a good tab for it, cause the bass is playing it too,
and not totally the same as the guitars.  Just palm mute and rock out.
