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. =(

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:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/i/iron_maiden/journeyman_tab_ver_2.html ]
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
