Ides of March

Year: 2007 - Album: Route 666

Written by Steve Harris

	  		Disco: Killers (1981)

This is the intro riff (both guitars):

G---9--------7-----|--9--------7-----|----------------------------------
D---9--------7-----|--9--------7-----|----------------------------------
A---7--------5-----|--7--------5-----|----------------------------------
E------------------|-----------------|----------------------------------

Then some harmony starts (2 guitars - one plays the upper notes, the 
other plays the lower notes):

E------|------------------|--------------------|------------------------
B---7--|--8--------10-----|--12--------13--15--|------------------------
G---7--|--9--------11-----|--12--------14--16--|------------------------

G---14--------14^---14--|--12--------11-----|--12--|--------------------
D-----------------------|-------------------|------|--------------------
A-----------------------|-------------------|------|--------------------
E-----------------------|-------------------|------|--------------------

Then the rhythm guitar plays this (twice):

A---7---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-7---7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-------------------------
E---------------------------------------------|-------------------------

Then it goes back and plays the part with the harmony again. Here's the 
solo (I'm not sure if I got all the bar lines in the right place):
