Gtr II (Dave)

All these notes are played using the third finger so there are
also grace notes due to changing position but I’ve just shown
the basic fingerings. Most of the bends should be "overbent" and
shaken heavily.

Use these “Run to the hills” guitar tabs to rock in true Maiden style. You can even play it without wearing latex pants.

Dave Murray plays lead guitar and Adrian Smith plays rhythm guitar on the original release of “Run to the hills” by “Iron Maiden”. Songwriter Steve Harris succeeded in making the general rhythm of the song sound like galloping horses, but warns guitarist not to let it run away with you while playing. It is all too easy to increase the bpm while playing this on your own guitar. “Run to the hills” is great fun to play, so enjoy these guitar tabs and have fun playing!
