Thanks guys! NOTE FROM CEDRIC: This isn't a perfect version, but it's near. I think it's the first on the net, isn't it??? NOTE FROM JOE: I saw the notice up requesting this on Zoso's Iron Maiden site and decided to try my hand at doing a bit of transcribing. I've never done it before but it being the school holidays and all I've got a bit of time on my hands. I think I'll also do the lead guitar parts missing from the 'Lightning strikes twice' tab. Oh well, here goes. Sanctuary by Iron Maiden (LP or live version...you decide!)

Play each note where I signify. The INTRO is just lick A played on its own twice. Then you are straight into the verse. Play lick B and Dno3rd a couple of times before the lyrics start. In the first half of the verses Lick B is played right the way through while the other guitar plays the other chord signified (Dno3rd). VERSE: Guitar Lick: B Dno3rd Out of the winter came a war-horse of steel Dno3rd I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels PART 2 (This is the second part of the verse. It is the same in every verse, so I am only tabbing it once.) F1fr. G3fr. Guitar lick: B Dno3rd I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw F1fr. G3fr. A5fr. Now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law Tabbed out: Riff 2 ...saw what I saw.. ..for....Sanctuary.. e --------- ----------- ------------ B --------- ----------- ------------ G --------- ----------- ------------ D --------- 4--2--4---- ----------3- A -7--5---- 4--2--4--2v (2x) --7--5----1- E -5--9---- ----------- --5--9------ After this the song stops then starts again. You just play the INTRO bit again and play verse two, which is exactly the same as verse one, but with different lyrics for the first part (see lyrics at the end of the tab). After this it's the bridge. In the bridge when the lyrics stop the song has a very rhythmical guitar part before the solo. This is the bit in the tab which begins on the first "....tonight" and is made up firstly of barred E's & D's and then moves down through D's & C's to Bm and A. It's starting to sound complicated but trust me, it ain't that hard if you play along with the CD for the rhythm. BRIDGE: A5fr. G3fr. So give me sanctuary from the law A5fr. D5fr.

It sounds a bit lame to tell you that it is an improvised solo, but it's true. It's typical Dave Murray as it is never played the same twice. Besides, I'm buggered if I can play or tab the solos on the CD but here at least are the background chords. While the Solo is played, the other guitar plays: Guitar lick B x8 F1fr. G3fr. Guitar lick B F1fr. G3fr. Guitar lick B x3 Dno3rd C(not barre) Guitar lick B After the solos, there is this four times: Am(not barre) D(not barre) E|--------------------------|---------------------0-------------2---------------------------- B|-----------0--------1-----|-----3---------------3-------------3---------------------------- G|--2--------2--------2-----|-----2---------------2-------------2---------------------------- D|--2--------2--------2-----|-----0---------------0-------------0---------------------------- A|--0-----------------0-----|---------------------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------- (After Solos) e --15-------13-------3------1--- ------------10-12 B ----15--------13------3------1- 9--11-12-14------ G --------15---------------3----- ----------------- D ------------------------------- ----------------- A ------------------------------- ----------------- E ------------------------------- ----------------- Then it's back to: F1fr.

Now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law After that it's time for VERSE THREE, for which the same applies as for verses one and two. Then it's the start of the bridge again...unless, of course, it's the live version.
