Sea of Madness by Iron Maiden
From the album Somewhere in Time (1986)
Written by Adrian Smith
All rights belong to their respective owners
Tabbed by Jaakko Karppinen
In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated Maiden songs. Especially the bass solo is just awesome.
The tab probably isn't 100% correct, but it should be quite close. Enjoy!
