                      The Educated Fool
                by Iron Maiden (Steve Harris)
                  off the Album "Virtual XI"
   Transcribed by Matthias Baumann (matschga@hotmail.com)

INTRO-Riff 1 (play it 2 times, Steve plays the chords):

   Em      |-let ring------>  C              G          D
E|--------------------------|-----------------------------| 
B|--------------------------|-----------------------------|
G|--------------------------|-----------------------------|
D|----9-10-9----------------|----9-10-9-10-9-/12---10-9---|
A|-12-----------------------|-12-----------------------12-|
E|--------------------------|-----------------------------|

INTRO-Riff 2 (also 2 times, Steve is still playing the chords):

  Em           |-let ring-->  C                        D
|---------------------------|-----------------------------------| 
|---7-8-10-8-7-8------------|---7-8-10-8-7-8---10/12---10-8-10--|
|-9-------------------------|-9---------------------------------|
|---------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|---------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|---------------------------|-----------------------------------|

During the first verse guitar 1 plays the chords by picking 
the following pattern (this is just a sample so that you get the idea):

  Em            Em           Em        C           G        D
|------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|------9---9--------9---9--------9---|-----5---5--------------------7----|
|----9---9---9----9---9---9----9---9-|---5---5---5-----5---5------7---7--|
|-7-------------7------------7-------|-3-------------5---5---5--5--------|
|------------------------------------|-------------3---------------------|

VERSE 1:

         Em                    C                    G               D

             Em                               C                     D 
  About this awkward situation   ...
          Em                      C             G         D

         Em                                 C              D

The Second Verse is played (heavily!) distorted, so there's a new 
pattern:

  Em                          C       G      D (let ring)
|---------------------------|--------------------------------|
