                                   PROWLER

Song: Prowler
Album: Iron Maiden
Tabber: Niall 'UncaClitsta' Polson ([email protected])
Other Credits (Original Tab): Amir 'Holy Wars' Hershcoviz, Ryan Voss.
Tuning: E Standard (E, A, D, G, b, e)
Notes: I don't think many people care for prowler, I guess thats why its never been
tabbed out that great, heres The Iron Project's shot at it. Check out the notes for
a suggested wah setup. The solo is kind of tricky, my suggestion is that you try to
improvise it a bit you will eventually get it.

The rest of the song is just parts repeated, enjoy, glad I decided to tab this because the 
old tabs were very wrong in some parts.  This was done by The Iron Project. Enjoy!
