-Number Of The Beast ( Iron Maiden)-

-tuning: standard


note:I just tabbed out the picking in the intro, tha basic pattern with slight
variations repeats throughout the whole song. So further in the song I've tabbed
out the chords, but you should play them similarly to the intro part. Chorus chords
are strummed/picked as well.
