LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE(DAVE MURRAY & STEVE HARRIS)----------------------------TABBED BY: ASIER ALKORTA ZABALETA AND JOE JOHNSTON(Another instance in where I compiled the efforts of two contributors...)SONG: LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICEALBUM:VIRTUAL XIBAND: IRON MAIDENNOTATION:PALM MUTING: PM..... THE PALM MUTING IS USED UNTIL THE POINTS FINISHhoHAMMER ON: --2 4--poPULL OF: --4 2--BENDING: --2^4-- BEND A WHOLE TONE FORM 2 TO 4th STEPVIBRATO: --4~~~--NOTE FROM ASIER: Cmo estis amigos? Sometimes as you read the tabs you will find thatalthough Dave and Jan are driving us crazy with a chord and a wild and horsyrhythm in the tab there are just some chords. That's because of saving spaceand time by just putting the chords. the rhythm is not hard to work out, atleast if you have ever played a Maiden song.NOTE FROM JOE: Upon printing the tab for this song on Zoso's Iron Maiden site I discoveredthat the lead guitar parts from the intro and the quiet bit after the first verse weremissing. I went home and figured it out by ear from the CD. Then I transcribed 'Sanctuary'properly last night so today I decided to tab this and mail it so all the Maiden fans whowere peed off 'cos they couldn't be bothered figuring it out now don't have to. I haven'tdone the solo 'cos I'm not much of a solo player (and if I can't play 'em, I sure as hellcan't tab them!), but if you can play it then tab it and post it for the benefit of others.GUITAR ONE INTROB5 G5 E5 F#5|------------------------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------------------------||--------4---4-----------------------------------------------------------------||-----4----4---4-------5---5--------2---2---------4---4------------------------||--2-----------------5---5---5----2---2---2-----4---4---4----------------------||------------------3-------------0------------2--------------------------------GUITAR TWO INTRO:LEAD PART FOR INTRO:E|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------9-------9--11--9--|----------------------------9------9--11--9| D|--9--11--12--9--11--12-----12--------------12---|--9--11--12--9--11--12----12------------12-| A|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------|-------------------------------9--------| D|-9--11--12--12--11--12--12--11--12--12--11---|--9--11--12--12--11--12-----12--9--11---| A|-----------------------------------------12--|----------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------9--|------------------------------9--9--11---| D|-9--11--12--12--11--12--12--11--12----12-------|-9--11--12--12--11--12-----12------------| A|------------------------------------------12---|-----------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|B5 G5 E5 F#5|------------------------------------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------------------------||---4--4--4--4--4------5-------------------------------------------------------||---4--4--4--4--4------5---2----4----------------------------------------------||---2--2--2--2--2------3---2----4----------------------------------------------| pm...|--------------------------0----2----------------------------------------------This is the part of the song after verse one which sounds like the intro. It is like theintro but not quite, so here are the tabs for it. It should also be played with the sameother guitar part as for the intro. The notes in brackets should be played a fraction ofa second before the next note, but if you find it annoying just leave them out and no-onewill really notice.E|-----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| G|------11--9------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------| D|--9-----------12--12--11--9--9-----------------|----(9)--11--9------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------12--10--9---|-9---------------12--12--11--9--------------| E|-----------------------------------------------|----------------------------------12--10--9-| E|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------| G|-------11--9------------------------------------|----------11--9----------------------------| D|-9-(9)--------12--12--11--9--9------------------|-9--(9)----------12--12--11--9-------------| A|--------------------------------12--10--9-------|--------------------------------12--10--9--| E|--------------------------------------------12--|-------------------------------------------|ONLY GOD KNOWS...________ _________________ __________B5 B5 A5 B5 B5 |G5 E5 | G5 A5 A5 E5 | G5 E5|----------------------|--------|-----------------|----------------------------| | | ||----------------------|--------|-----------------|----------------------------| | | ||--4--4--2---4----4----|--------|-----2---2-------|----------------------------| | | ||--4--4--2---4----4----|-5---2--|-5---2---2---2---|--5----2--------------------| | | ||--2--2--0---2----2----|-5---2--|-5---0---0---2---|--5----2--------------------| | | ||----------------------|-3---0--|-3-----------0---|--3----0--------------------THE WHOLE SKY...|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------||-----------------------------------------------------------------------------||-----------------------------------------------------------------------------||--5--2--4--------------------------------------------------------------------||--5--2--4--------------------------------------------------------------------||--3--0--2--------------------------------------------------------------------MAYBE LIGHTNING...B5 G5 E5 F#5 B5 D5 E5 F#5|--------------------------------------------------------------------------||--------------------------------------------------------------------------||--4--------------4----5---9-----------------------------------------------||--4--5---2---4---4----5---9----4------------------------------------------||--2--5---2---4---2----3---7----4------------------------------------------||-----3---0---2-----------------2------------------------------------------pm..MAYBE LIGHTNING...|------------------------------------------------------------------------------||--12-------------------------------12-----------------------------------------||------14--13---------------------------14--13------13--14--14---6-7-9-7-6-----||--------------14--12---------------------------14-------------------------9---||----------------------14--14--------------------------------------------------||------------------------------------------------------------------------------CODAB5 B5 A5 B5 B5 REPEAT 3 TIMES A5 B5 B5 A5 B5|---------------------------------------------------------------------------||---------------------------------------------------------------------------||--4---4---2---4---2--------------------2--4---4---2----4-------------------||--4---4---2---4---4--------------------2--4---4---2----4-------------------||--2---2---0---2---2--------------------0--2---2---0----2-------------------||---------------------------------------------------------------------------NO MORE TEARS...
