Iron Maiden – Aces High Chord

[Intro]

F#m   D  E   (x4) (hold the E on the last repeat)
Am    F  G   (x4)


[Verse 1]

Em                                     D
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid,
Em                                       D
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak.
Em                                    D
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne,
Em                           D
Got to get up for the coming attack.

Am                                   G
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines,
Am                                            G
Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste.
Am                                  G
Gathering speed as we head down the runway,
Am                                  G
Got to get airborne before it's too late.


[Chorus]

Em                   [C  C/B]  *
Running, scrambling, fire,
Em                         [C  C/B]
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.
Em                   [C  C/B]
Running, scrambling, fire, 
Em                 [C  C/B]
Rolling, turning, diving,
Em   C    D      
Run, live to 
Em   C   D

Em    C  D
live, do or 
Em   C     D
die, Won't you

[Verse 2]

Em                                   D
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers,
Em                                  D
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away.
Em                                 D
Roll over, spin round to come in behind them,
Em                                  D  
Move to their blindsides and firing again.

Am                             G
Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us,
Am                      G
Ten ME-109's out of the sun.
Am                                     G
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them,
Am                                        G
Heading straight for them I press down my guns.


[Chorus]

Em                   [C  C/B]  *
Running, scrambling, fire,
Em                         [C  C/B]
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again.
Em                   [C  C/B]
Running, scrambling, fire, 
Em                 [C  C/B]
Rolling, turning, diving,
Em   C    D      
Run, live to 
Em   C   D
fly, fly to 
Em    C  D
live, do or 
Em   C     D
die, Won't you
G    Eb   F 
run, live to 
G    Eb  F
fly, fly to
G     Eb F
live, A--ces 
G    Eb  F

Am  F  G  (x4)  
(On the last F, G slow it down A load)

Am   to finish, hold this and outro fill as you see fit.
