                      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

|-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--|

|------------------------------------|-------------3---------------------|

VERSE 1:

  As I'm walking down into  on my ...
         Em                                 C              D

|-7----7-----7-----7--------------|
|---------------------------------|
  Open the page...

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

  Em                          C       G      D (let ring)
|---------------------------|--------------------------------|
|---------------------------|--------------------------------|
|-9-------9---9--9---9--9-9-|-5--5-----------7---------------|
|-9-------9---9--9---9--9-9-|-5--5----5--5---7---------------|

Repeat CHORUS RIFF 8 times, then

VERSE 3:
          Em                   C               G         D
  Do you really wanna be  just ...
            Em                             C                 D
  That you really should aspire  ...
         Em                           C              G         D
