Note: The guitar solos are not too hard to play but the first one is more
confused. I didn't put them in this tab cause they were too long and
too hard to write!!! So, enjoy and try to find how to they play them!!!
If you want other Iron Maiden songs, just e-mail me and I will see what I can
do for you!!! Up the Irons!!!

| The story tells of a man's journey up a river into the jungle during the Viet-Nam war, in search of an insane genius who has succumbed to the innate savagery that resides inside all of us. | |

| This song is ten kinds of awesome. I remember the first time I heard it and recognised the opening lines as direct dialogue from Apocalypse Now. When you've faced the heart of darkness. Even your soul begins to bend... 1 | |
