" Seventh Son Of a Seventh Son " ----------------------------------- By : Iron Maiden From : Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son Tabbed By : John Twynam (StillLife@hotmail.com) This is the intro (play twice, then play twice more but at a faster speed): *fret the whole chord, but play it as a broken chord starting from the 8th fret B string to the 7th fret A string.

I'm not even going to try to make an accurate tab of that because it is in an incredibly screwed up time signature (either that or the time signature changes almost every bar). I'll just give you the basic idea. There is a clean guitar playing this: E---------------------------------------------------|------------------- B------7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7--|------------------- G---------9-----------9-----------9-----------9-----|------------------- D---9-----------9-----------9-----------9-----------|------------------- A---------------------------------------------------|------------------- E---------------------------------------------------|------------------- After a while, it switches to this: E---------------------------------------------------|------------------- B------3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3--|------------------- G---------5-----------5-----------5-----------5-----|------------------- D---5-----------5-----------5-----------5-----------|------------------- A---------------------------------------------------|------------------- E---------------------------------------------------|------------------- Eventually, you'll hear another guitar playing this: E---------------------------------------------------|------------------- B------7--8--7-----7--8--7-----7--8--7-----7--8--7--|------------------- G---9-----------9-----------9-----------9-----------|------------------- D---------------------------------------------------|------------------- A---------------------------------------------------|------------------- E---------------------------------------------------|------------------- Then that guitar switches to this: E---------------------------------------------------|------------------- B------3--4--3-----3--4--3-----3--4--3-----3--4--3--|------------------- G---5-----------5-----------5-----------5-----------|------------------- D---------------------------------------------------|------------------- A---------------------------------------------------|------------------- E---------------------------------------------------|------------------- There are some overdubbed harmonics in there somewhere too. Eventually another guitar starts playing some E5 and C5 power chords with a digital delay pedal. Then the delay is turned off and that guitar just plays some palm-muted E5 and C5 power chords. Then it gets faster. This is the rhythm part: E-------------|-----|-------------|-----|-------------|-----|----------- B-------------|-----|-------------|-----|-------------|-----|----------- G---4:--5--7--|--9--|--(9)--5--7--|--9--|--(9)--5--7--|--5--|----------- D---4:--5--7--|--9--|--(9)--5--7--|--9--|--(9)--5--7--|--5--|----------- A-------3--5--|--7--|--(7)--3--5--|--7--|--(7)--3--5--|--3--|----------- E-------------|-----|-------------|-----|-------------|-----|----------- E--------------|-----|-------------|------------------------------------ B--------------|-----|-------------|------------------------------------ G---(5)--5--7--|--9--|--(9)--5--7--|------------------------------------ D---(5)--5--7--|--9--|--(9)--5--7--|------------------------------------ A---(3)--3--5--|--7--|--(7)--3--5--|------------------------------------ E--------------|-----|-------------|------------------------------------ This is the lead part (one guitar plays the upper notes, the other plays the lower notes): 4x E-------||-----------------|--------------||---------------------------- B-------||---8--10--12--8--|--10--12--8---||---------------------------- G---4:--||*----------------|-------------*||---------------------------- D---4:--||*----------------|-------------*||---------------------------- A-------||---7--9---10--7--|--9---10--7---||---------------------------- E-------||-----------------|--------------||---------------------------- Then comes the solo.
