IRON MAIDEN - "thin line between love and hate" Tablature

Official IRON MAIDEN Tablature & Sheet Music »

Author/Artist: Iron Maiden
Title: The Thin Line between Love and Hate
Album: Brave New World
Transcribed by: Swen O. Heiland
Email: sonofagun@t-online.de

This song was really hard to transcribe! One of the three guitars seems to
use a dropped d tuning. That means: most of the d chords should be played one
octave lower (I'm sure that was Adrian's idea!:)).
