Song progression:

[Riff 1] x4 (Adrian Smith only; Murray plays last A5 chord in tandem)

[Riff 1] x2 (Murray joins Smith)

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

Kill for gain or shoot to maim, but we don't need a reason

The golden goose is on the loose and never out of season

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

Some blackened pride still burns inside this shell of bloody treason

Here's my gun for a barrel of fun for the love of living death.

[Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

The killer's breed or the demon seed,

the glamour, the fortune, the pain

Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,

Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:

[Fill 1]

Two minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom.

Two minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb.

[Riff 1] x1

[Fill 1]

[Riff 1] x1

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

The blind men shout "let the creatures out, we'll show the unbelievers"

Napalm screams of human flames, of a primetime Belsen feast, yeah

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy,

We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

[Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

The killer's breed or the demon seed,

the glamour, the fortune, the pain

Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,

Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:

[Fill 1]

Two minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom.

Two minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb!

Guitar Solos

------------

Here's what I have done: I tabbed each solo (#1 is Dave, #2 is Adrian)

and put the solo rhythm underneath it. Because the rhythms are so odd, I

will leave them separate and you can figure out how they fit with each

solo.

[Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics:

The body bags and little rags of children torn in two

And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you

[Riff 2] x2 /w lyrics:

As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song

To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

[Riff 3] x1 /w lyrics:

The killer's breed or the demon seed,

the glamour, the fortune, the pain

Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,

Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:

Two minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom.

Two minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb.
