---------------------------------------------------------------------------- BE QUICK OR BE DEAD - Iron Maiden ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From 1992's "Fear of the Dark" album Written by Dickinson/Gers Tabbed by: SethMegadefan Email: rdlilly@hickorytech.net Tuning: Standard EADGBE I've got everything here except the solo. I'm no expert guitarist, and just playing the rhythm stuff is hard enough. Enjoy what's here, though. e|------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------| Play D|----5-5-0-0-1-1-3-3-1-0--------5-5-0-0-1-1-3-3-1------| 4 A|--------------------------------------------------3---| Times E|-3--------------------------3-------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------7--8----| A|-5--5-5--5-5-5-5--5-5--5-5-5-5--5-5--5-5-5-5--6----| E|-3--3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3-3--3-3--3-3-3---------| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
