Iron Maiden - The Trooper

      
 
 Song: The Trooper
 Album: Piece of Mind
 Artist: Iron Maiden
 Bassist: Steve Harris
 Tuning: Standard (E A D G)
 
 Notes:
 - Make sure you choke the note after you do the triplet (gallop), otherwise, it
 doesn't really make much sense.
 - Tablature timing is not perfect, so you'll have to work out the timing yourself
 (please consider that this is my first tab)
