Verse

The verse has the same chords that the part above, but they're

played with distortion. Hear very carefully the song so you can catch

the rhythm.

Here are the lyrics:

Have you run your fingers down the wall

And have you felt your neck skin crawl

When you're searching for the light

Sometimes when you're scared to take a look

At the corner of the room

You've sensed that something's watching you

Solo:

(The easy part)

E|---------------------------------------------|

B|---------------------------------------------|

G|-7--7-7-9-10-9~-10-9-7--7--------------------|

D|--------------------------10-8--8-7-5-7^-7~--|

E|---------------------------------------------|

E|---------------------------------------------|

B|---------------------------------------------|

G|-7--7-7-9-10-9~-10-9-7--7----------5-7~------|

D|--------------------------10-8-7-5-----------|

A|---------------------------------------------|

E|---------------------------------------------|

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B|---------------8---------------8-------------------------------------------

G|---7~---7-9-10---10-9---7-9-10---10-9--7-----------------------------------

D|-7----7---------------7------------------10-7-7^-7~------------------------

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B|---------------8---------------8--------------10^-10~----------------------

G|---7~---7-9-10---10-9---7-9-10---10-9--7-----------------------------------

D|-7----7---------------7------------------10-7------------------------------

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Solo-Really-Fast-Difficult-To-Catch}

Solo:

(Again, an easy part)

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B|-------10-6-8~-------10-6-8-6----------------------------------------------

G|-7-7-7---------7-7-7----------------10-7-9~-------10-7-9-5--------7-3-5----

D|------------------------------8-8-8---------8-8-8-----------5-5-5----------

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

G|-------10-7-9-------7----7-5---5-7---7-5---5-------------------------------

D|-7-7-7--------10-7--7--7-----7-----7-----7---------------------------------

A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, comes the Chorus again, the last verse, and the outro,

that is similar to the Intro, so you can get it easy.

If you have an idea about the Really-Fast-Solo, or if you

want to talk about another Iron Maiden's Tab, feel free to drop me

some lines about it.

UP THE IRONS!

Fear of the Dark

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park

When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklores
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there

When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strach przed ciemnością


Jestem człowiekiem, który chodzi sam
I kiedy idę ciemną drogą
W nocy, albo gdy spaceruję po parku
Kiedy światło zaczyna się zmieniać
Czasem trochę dziwnie się czuję
Staję się niespokojny kiedy jest ciemno.

Ref:
Strach przed ciemnością, strach przed ciemnością
Mam stale wrażenie, że coś zawsze jest w pobliżu
Strach przed ciemnością, strach przed ciemnością
Bardzo się boję, że ktoś zawsze tam jest.

Czy kiedyś zbiegłeś palcami po ścianie
I poczułeś gęsią skórę na szyi
Kiedy szukałeś włącznika światła?
Czy czasem boisz się spojrzeć w kąt pokoju
Czujesz, że coś cię obserwuje?

Ref.

Czy kiedykolwiek byłeś sam w nocy
I zdawało ci się, że słyszysz kroki,
Obróciłeś się wokół i nie było nikogo?
Przyspieszasz wtedy tempa chodu
Z trudem znowu spoglądasz dookoła
Bo jesteś pewien, że ktoś tam jest.

Ref.
Strach przed ciemnością


W nocy oglądasz filmy grozy potem
Rozmyślasz o wiedźmach i legendach
Nieznane problemy zaprzątają twoją głowę
Może umysł płata ci figle
Czujesz i nagle twoje oczy
Napotykają cienie tańczące tuż za tobą.

Ref. 2x

I kiedy idę ciemną drogą
To jestem człowiekiem, który chodzi sam.
