The Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden | Guitar Chords

[Intro (1)]
---------------------
D5

[Verse 1]
---------------------
        D5
I left alone, my mind was blank.
         C5                                 D5
I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind.
What did I see?
                          C5                                   D5
Can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
            D5
Just what I saw in my old dreams
             C5                                 D5
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
'Cause in my dreams it's always there
         C5                                     D5
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair Yeah

[Bridge (1)]

D5 | C5 | D5 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
D5
Night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell?

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
C5 C5    G C5                  D5
Six  six six   the number of the beast
C5       G      C5                    D5
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

[Verse 4]
---------------------
D5
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires are burning bright
Ritual has begun, Satan's work is done

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C5      G     C5            D5
Six six six the number of the beast
C5   G     C5         D5
Sacrifice is going on tonight

[Verse 5]
---------------------
C5    D5 D5
  This   can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream?
I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
Seem to mesmerise, can't avoid their eyes

[Verse 6]
---------------------
I will return
            C5                               D5
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire
I have the force
           C5                             D5
I have the power to make my evil take its course
