Song: Accident Of Birth
Artist: Bruce Dickinson
Album: Accident Of Birth
Written By Bruce Dickinson and Roy Z

Tabbed & transcribed by Ricardo Bustos O.
email: RBO567@Hotmail.com

A Heavy song of Bruce Dickinson. I´m not sure
but I think that Roy Z and Adrian Smith both
used bass strings in this song like in
some others in the Chemical Wedding because
it sounds very heavy to me or maybe they tune
their guitars differently, anyway here
goes the version with the guitar tuned just
like I tabbed: Taking the queen
and The Ghost of Cain. Enjoy!

Follow all the signs that are below the
end of the 6 strings lines.

pm = palm muting
h = hammer on
p = pull off
x = harmonic note
/ = slide
* = stay in that note for certain time
b = bend

the song goes like this:

Intro Riff
Riff 1
Pre-Chorus Riff
Chorus Riff
Solo A(intro Riff)
Riff 1
Pre-Chorus Riff
Chorus Riff
Solo B(Chorus Riff)
SOLO(Riffs 2)
Pre-Chorus Riff
Chorus Riff

You might need to listen to the song to get a
better idea of what a tabbed. Check every single

Riffs 2:

The other guitar plays this along with this solo.
I figured out two ways to play it.
This is one way:

E-----------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------
G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A-2-------2-------2---2-4-5--2-------2-------2---2-5-4
E-0--0-0--0--0-0--0-0-0-2-3--0--0-0--0--0-0--0-0-0-3-2
pm pm pm pm pm pm

This is the other way:(choose the one you like more)

Basically both are the same

E-------------------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------------------
D-9-------9-------9---9-1112-9-------9-------9---9-12-11
A-7--7-7--7--7-7--7-7-7-9-10-7--7-7--7--7-7--7-7-7-10-9-
