Infinite Dreams by Iron Maiden From the album Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988) Written by Steve Harris All rights belong to their respective owners Tabbed by Jaakko Karppinen This is one of my favorite Iron Maiden songs ever and I think it should be played live more often. The tab is based on the Master Track and live performance found in YouTube. This was my first ever tab here in UG, so I found surprisingly many flaws when I decided to re-check it. That's why I re-wrote the whole thing. And now it should most definitely be 100% accurate, though I've not tabbed some mistakes that Steve makes. There are a couple of strange and extremely difficult parts in this song that I have tabbed in a more "sensible" way. If you want to try to play them exactly how they sound like on the Master Track, the tabs are at the very end. Some very advanced stuff that is. Please enjoy!
