Iron Maiden - Journeyman

Iron Maiden - Journeyman

[Intro]: Am  . ... F  A

         F                                                      A

From the red sky of the east to the sunset in the west

        F                                                                    A 

We have cheated death and he has cheated us

    F                                                A

But that was just a dream and this is what it means

       F                                                            A

We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore

        C                        D                        A       

And the fragment remains of our memories

        C                       D                           G    

And the shadows remain with our hands

                         C             D                      F                   G

Deep grey, came to mourn, all the colours of the dawn

                      C             D                   A    

Will this Journeyman’s day be his last?

(Chorus)

  Dm                                    F

I know what I want and I say what I want

    C                                     Bb  C

And no one can take it awa-ay                                   3x

  Dm                      F

I know what I want and I say what I want

    C                   Bb  Bb  D  D

And no one can take it away - Aaah

F  A

       F                                                            A

But the memory still remains all the past years not so strange

       F                                                            A

Our winter times are like a silent shroud

       F                                                            A

And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away

       F                                                            A

And winter's not the only dream around

        C                        D                        A

In your life you may choose desolation

        C                       D                           G

And the shadows you build with your hands

                         C             D                      F                   G

If you turn to the light that is burning in the night

                      C             D                   A

Then the Journeyman's day has begun

[Chorus]

Intro: Em   D  C  D (3x) 

Em                                      D

You'll take my life but I’ll take yours too 

Em                                         D

You'll fire your musket but I’ll run you through 

C                                  D

So when you're waiting for the next attack 

Em                                     D

You'd better stand there's no turning back. 

Em                                D

The bugle sounds and the charge begins 

Em                             D

But on this battlefield no one wins 

C                                   D

The smell of acrid smoke and horse’s breath 

Em                         D

As i plunge on into certain death.

D                   Em

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

D                     Em (EmDCD)2x

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Em                                       D

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run 

Em                            D

The mighty roar of the Russian guns 

C                              D

And as we race towards the human wall 

Em                                  D

The screams of pain as my comrades fall 

Em                                 D

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground 

Em                             D

And the Russians fire another round 

C                        D

We get so near yet so far away 

Em                            D

We won't live to fight another day. 

Em                             D

We get so close near enough to fight 

Em                           D

When a Russian gets me in his sights 

C                                 D

He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow 

Em                              D

A burst of rounds take my horse below. 

Em                             D

And as i lay there gazing at the sky 

Em                             D

My bodies numb and my throat is dry 

C                          D

And as i lay forgotten and alone 

Em                             D

Without a tear i draw my parting groan

 

D                    Em

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 

D                    Em (EmDCD)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

          F#m

As the sun breaks, above the ground  

F#m                            

An old man stands on the hill 

A       E                                      

As the ground warms, to the first rays of light 

  F#m                                 

A birdsong shatters the still

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears 

F#m                          

Looks the old man in the eye  

A     E                                                              

As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd  

   F#m

In the name of God my father I fly 

    F#m           G#m

His eyes seem so glazed 

      A                       B

As he flies on the wings of a dream,

       F#m               G#m

Now he knows his father betrayed 

        A                                B     C#

Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave

F#m          E            D

Fly, on your way, like an eagle
