Iron Maiden - Rime of the Ancient Mariner - transcribed by Gary Chapman
=========================================
tablature Copyright (c)1994 Gary Chapman
In my usual fashion, I got inspired by someone`s posting (in this case,
Andrew Kenter`s), belted out half of the song (Texts of songs ) in one go, and then lost
interest. If I have the time and energy I`ll finish the song (Texts of songs ) in the
not-too-distant future.
Here`s everything up to and including the slow section with the poem.
Taken from Live After Death.

E5 Riff B
The mariner kills the bird of good omen.
His shipmates cry against what he`s done.
But when the fog clears they justify him.
E5
And makes themselves a part of the crime.

E5 Riff B
The albatross begins with his vengeance.
A terrible curse, a thirst has begun.
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner.
Around his neck the dead bird is hung.
C5 D5 Shanty B
And the curse goes on and on and on at sea.
And the curse goes on and on for them and me.
E5 Riff B
Day after day, day after day we struck nor breath nor motion.
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean.
C5 Riff B
Water water everywhere, and all the boards did shrink
E5 Riff A
Water water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.

(alternate between the two combinations above)
One after one by the star-dogged moon, too quick for a groan or sigh.
Each turned his face with a ghastly pang and cursed me with his eye.
Four times fifty living men, and I heard nor sigh nor groan.
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump, they dropped down one by one.
