Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast Chords

[Intro]
Dm

[Verse 1]
        Dm               Dm
I left alone my mind was blank,
         C                                  Dm
I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind.

           Dm           Dm
What did I see, can I believe,
            C                                    Dm
that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.

[Verse 2]
            Dm            Dm
Just what I saw in my old dreams,
            C                                   Dm
were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?

          Dm                 Dm
Cos in my dreams it's always there,
         C                                      Dm
the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair.

[Interlude]
C Dm   C Dm   C C    C Dm   
  Yeeeah...

[Verse 3]
    Dm                         Dm
The night was black was no use holding back
           Dm                     C        Dm
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me

Dm                       Dm
In the mist dark figures move and twist
        Dm                    C       Dm
was all this for real or some kind of hell

[Chorus]
C       G       C             Dm
Six-six-six the Number of the Beast
C        G        C               Dm
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

[Verse 4]
Dm                        Dm
Torches blazed and sacred chants were phrased
        Dm                      C       Dm
as they start to cry hands held to the sky

Dm                         Dm
In the night the fires are burning bright
           Dm                 C       Dm
the ritual has begun, Satan's work is done

[Chorus]
C       G       C             Dm
Six-six-six the Number of the Beast
C    G       C          Dm
Sacrifice is going on tonight

[Verse 5]
     Dm                   Dm
This can't go on I must inform the law
         Dm                    C     Dm
Can this still be real or some crazy dream

    Dm                       Dm
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
             Dm                  C          Dm
they seem to mesmerise ...can't avoid their eyes

[Chorus]
C       G       C             Dm
Six-six-six the Number of the Beast
C       G       C               Dm
Six-six-six the one for you and me

[Verse 6]
           Dm             Dm
I'm coming back, I will return.
            C                                Dm
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn.
           Dm               Dm
I have the fire, I have the force,
           C                              Dm
I have the power to make my evil take its course.
