Tears Of The Dragon by Bruce Dickinson

from the album Balls To Picasso

The intro was originally tabbed by Carmen J Pezzone

([email protected]) but I made a few small changes.

This is how I play the chords (of course there are other ways):

[Verse]

Am

For too long now

C Cadd9 Am

There were secrets in my mind

For too long now

C Cadd9 Am

There were things I should have said

In the darkness

C Cadd9 Am

I was stumbling for the door

To find a reason

C Cadd9 Am

To find the time, the place, the hour

Em

Waiting for the winter sun

G D

And the cold light of day

Am Em

The misty ghosts of childhood fears

G

The pressure is building

D

And I can't stay away

[Chorus]

Em C G D

I throw myself into the sea

Em C

Release the wave

G D

Let it wash over me

Em C

To face the fear

G D

I once believed

Em C

The tears for the dragon

G D

For you and for me

Am

Where I was

C Cadd9 Am

I had wings that couldn't fly

Where I was

C Cadd9 Am

I had tears I couldn't cry

My emotions

C Cadd9 Am

Frozen in an icy lake

I couldn't feel them

C Cadd9 Am

Until the ice began to break

Em

I have no power over this

G D

You know I'm afraid

Am Em

The walls I built are crumblig

G

The water is moving

D

I'm slipping away

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Am Em

Slowly I awake

G D Am

Slowly I rise

Em

The walls I built are crumblig

G

The water is moving

D

I'm slipping away

[Chorus]

[Outro]

This is the first time I've tabbed a tune so be nice to me if you

find any mistakes. It sounds pretty good to me, but if you have

suggestions of changes just drop me a mail. If you think it's good,

feel free to send me praises ;-).
