"The Mercernary" tab (+Solo) Song@Author@Album: The Mercenary@Iron Maiden@Brave New World Tab by: Francesco Spina E-mail: francescospn@hotmail.com Legenda: / @ \ = slide on @ slide off (note) = hold the note without playing it L = legato ("hammer on" or "pull off") Note: although the "Brave New" album is usually played by three guitars, this is a classic two-coupled-guitars song (so Guit1=Murray&Smith Guit2=Gers). I have also a single-guitar tab of this song: if you want it, e-mail(an advice: that version is MUCH HARDER).
