LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE
(DAVE MURRAY & STEVE HARRIS)
TABBED BY: ASIER ALKORTA ZABALETA AND JOE JOHNSTON
(Another instance in where I compiled the efforts of two contributors...)
SONG: LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE
ALBUM:VIRTUAL XI
BAND: IRON MAIDEN
NOTATION:
PALM MUTING: PM..... THE PALM MUTING IS USED UNTIL THE POINTS FINISH
ho
HAMMER ON: --2 4--
po
PULL OF: --4 2--
BENDING: --2^4-- BEND A WHOLE TONE FORM 2 TO 4th STEP
VIBRATO: --4~~~--
NOTE FROM ASIER: Cmo estis amigos? Sometimes as you read the tabs you will find that
although Dave and Jan are driving us crazy with a chord and a wild and horsy
rhythm in the tab there are just some chords. That's because of saving space
and time by just putting the chords. the rhythm is not hard to work out, at
least if you have ever played a Maiden song.
NOTE FROM JOE: Upon printing the tab for this song on Zoso's Iron Maiden site I discovered
that the lead guitar parts from the intro and the quiet bit after the first verse were
missing. I went home and figured it out by ear from the CD. Then I transcribed 'Sanctuary'
properly last night so today I decided to tab this and mail it so all the Maiden fans who
were peed off 'cos they couldn't be bothered figuring it out now don't have to. I haven't
done the solo 'cos I'm not much of a solo player (and if I can't play 'em, I sure as hell
can't tab them!), but if you can play it then tab it and post it for the benefit of others.

This is the part of the song after verse one which sounds like the intro. It is like the
intro but not quite, so here are the tabs for it. It should also be played with the same
other guitar part as for the intro. The notes in brackets should be played a fraction of
a second before the next note, but if you find it annoying just leave them out and no-one
will really notice.
ONLY GOD KNOWS...
