Phantom of the Opera
by Iron Maiden(Harris)
Transcribed by Eddie Breslin
([email protected])([email protected])
I've transcribed the album version (from Iron Maiden),
but wherever overdubs and the like are concerned I've
used the live arrangement.(And that's why Gtr II is
referred to as Adrian).
INTRO:
repeat 3x

|------4--4h5p4-----7--4-----5--4-----------------------|
|--5h7-----------5--------5--------5--4--5--7-----------|

THEN (RIFF C-during verses)
|--------------------------------------------------|
