Song: "Face in the Sand" Artist: Iron Maiden Album: Dane of Death Tabbed By: John Alkire Email: [email protected] Standard Tuning This a great track off of the Dance of Death album. I have not tabbed the entire song,just the main parts to get you going. All of you experts out there can figure out the solo's. Another track that has acoustic melody and symphony feel to make Maiden better than ever before!
