Journeyman

Song: Journeyman

Band: Iron Maiden

Album: Dance of Death

I have borrowed some parts (like the intro chords) from the other journeyman tab. I’m

about that but it just sounded good. I also couldn’t figure out what the third guitar was

doing so I’ll just give Adrian’s and Dave’s parts. They play the same all the same

in the verse and a short solo that Adrian plays after the first chorus in death on the road.

figure that out either. =(

|--------------3-----------1-----------0------------|

|--------------2-----------2-----------2------------|

Note: Guitar 1 plays three strings separately and guitar 2 plays a chord, when the first

is played, guitar two also plays the full chord

VERSE 1:

Before the lyrics both guitars play the chords F and then A twice. It is with the same

as with lyrics. Adrian plays the normal chords and Dave plays barre chords.

F A

From the red sky of the east, To the sunset in the west

F A

We have cheated death and he has cheated us

F A

But that was just a dream, And this is what it means

F A

We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore

PRE-CHORUS 1:

C D A Asus4 A

And the fragment remains of our memories

C D G

And the shadows we made with our hands

C D C G

Deeper grey, come to mourn. All the colours of the dawn

C A Asus4 A

Will this Journeyman’s day be his last?

CHORUS (x4):

Dm F

I know what I want and I say what I want

C A# C

And no one can take it away.

VERSE 2:

F A

But the memory still remains. All those past years not so strange

F A

Our winter times are like a silent shroud

F A

And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away

F A

And winter's not the only dream around

PRE-CHORUS 2:

C D A Asus4 A

In your life you may choose desolation

C D G

And the shadows you build with your hands

C D C G

If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night

C D A Asus4 A

Then this Journeyman's day has begun

CHORUS x4

INTRO, part 2

PRE CHORUS 3:

C D A Asus4 A

In your life you may choose desolation

C D G

And the shadows we build with our hands

C D C G

If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night

C D A Asus4 A

Then this Journeyman's day has begun

CHORUS x4

----/

You can choose which G chord to use, but in my opinion the first one sounds better with

song.

I actually think that dave plays the A and F chords in the verse as "0" instead of 5 and

on the high e string.

x = mute string
