Iron Maiden – The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner (Guitar)

 D5            E5            F5
Tough of the track with the wind

         A5                  G5           D5
And the rain that's beating down on your back

      E5              F5
Your heart's beating loud

     A5              G5
And goes on getting louder

     D5/F#        G5            E5       F#5    B5       E5
And goes on even more till the sound is ringing in your head

     F#5     B5       F#5     G#5     C#5       F#5
With every step you tread and every breath you take

   G#5  C#5    D5        E5          F5
Determination makes you run, never stop

       A5         G5            D5
Gotta win, gotta run till you drop

          E5             F5
Keep the pace, hold the race

      A5               G5
Your mind is getting clearer

       D5/F#          G5
You're over halfway there

         E5          F#5   B5     E5
But the miles, they never seem to end

   F#5       B5     F#5       G#5    C#5  F#5
As if you're in a dream, not getting anywhere

    G#5      C#5
It seems so futile

 Dm         Bb
Run, on and on

 C          F
Run, on and on

     Dm    Bb          C             Dm
The loneliness of the long distance runner

Em                 C           D
 I've got to keep running the course

                  Am          C     D5   E5
I've got to keep running and win at all costs

                  C           Am
I've got to keep going, be strong

              C            D          G    D    Em    C
Must be so determined and push myself on

 D5        E5            F5
Run over stiles, across fields

 A5               G5           D5
Turn to look at who's on your heels

      E5          F5
Way ahead of the field

     A5              G5
The line is getting nearer

     D5/F#            G5        E5
But do you want the glory that goes?

     F#5       B5      E5      F#5       B5      F#5
You reach the final stretch, ideals are just a trace

     G#5         C#5        F#5
You feel like throwing the race

     G#5     C#5
It's all so futile

 Dm         Bb
Run, on and on

 C          F
Run, on and on

     Dm    Bb          C             Dm
The loneliness of the long distance runner

 Dm         Bb
Run, on and on

 C          F
Run, on and on

     Dm    Bb          C             Dm
The loneliness of the long distance runner
