Run to the Hills Guitar Tablature
Tabbed by G.Gutin 
g.gutin@onetel.net.uk

Band: Iron Maiden
Title: Run to the hills
Album: The Number of the Beast
Released: 1984
Tabbed: 05/04/03

Note: The reason I tabbed this song was because other tabs showed
the verse and chorus incorrectly. 
If you apply the correct rhythm to the notes below then the riffs 
will sound 100% Correct.

Various notation explained:

      h - hammer on 
      p - pull off 
      b - bend string up
      r - release bend
      / - slide up
       - slide down
      v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~)
      t - tap (with strumming hand)
      x - muted, struck string (You should use your fretting hand
          to damp the string)
     PM - Palm mute
