Note: This transciption is a corrected version of a tab someone gave me, it´s almost perfect but i´m not quite sure about the Verse Riff 2(could be one octave higher) and the Adrian Smith solo because of all the harmonics he does, I´m not pretty good with those, so you´ll have to figure them out for yourself, but it´s still quite close.
