Song progression:





[Riff 1] x4 (Adrian Smith only; Murray plays last A5 chord in tandem)

[Riff 1] x2 (Murray joins Smith)





[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

Kill for gain or shoot to maim, but we don't need a reason

The golden goose is on the loose and never out of season





[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

Some blackened pride still burns inside this shell of bloody treason

Here's my gun for a barrel of fun for the love of living death.





[Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

The killer's breed or the demon seed,

the glamour, the fortune, the pain

Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,

Don't you pray for my soul anymore.





[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:

                    [Fill 1]

Two minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom.

Two minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb.





[Riff 1] x1

[Fill 1]

[Riff 1] x1





[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

The blind men shout "let the creatures out, we'll show the unbelievers"

Napalm screams of human flames, of a primetime Belsen feast, yeah





[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy,

We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.





[Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

The killer's breed or the demon seed,

the glamour, the fortune, the pain

Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,

Don't you pray for my soul anymore.





[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:

                    [Fill 1]

Two minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom.

Two minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb!





Guitar Solos

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

Here's what I have done: I tabbed each solo (#1 is Dave, #2 is Adrian)

and put the solo rhythm underneath it. Because the rhythms are so odd, I

will leave them separate and you can figure out how they fit with each

solo.

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two

And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you





[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song

To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.





[Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

The killer's breed or the demon seed,

the glamour, the fortune, the pain

Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,

Don't you pray for my soul anymore.





[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:

                    [Fill 1]

Two minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom.

Two minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb.

(I know this can be played with the original fingerings, but this way

makes it easier to leave the A string open and also play the little fills

between each set of chord changes.)
