Blood on the Worlds Hands

Iron Maiden
Bass Tab
★4.8(8)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

I couldn't find a good bass tab for this whole song anywhere so I had to do my own. I

found the intro (which I have used in this tab too but a little changed). I don't think

perfect, I didn't spend a lot of time doing this and that didn't help a lot that I could

find the intro tabbed, but at least it's better than nothing. I will post a much

one as I get it ready (will take a long time, maybe even a year 'cause I will do a very

tab of every other Maiden song too, will post the others too as I get 'em ready). Enjoy

UP THE IRONS!
