The Number of the Beast 

D                         C 
I left alone my mind was blank  
                                     D 
I needed time to get the memories from my mind 
                               C 
What did I see can I believe that what I saw 
                                    D        
that night was real and not just fantasy 
 D 
Just what I saw in my old dreams were they 
  C                                      D 
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me 
 D 
Cos in my dream it's always there 
    C                                              D 
the evil face that twists my mindand brings me to despair  
 
C D  /  C D  / D C  / C D 
 
     D 
The night was black was no use holding back 
                                    C      D 
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me 
  D 
In the mist dark figures move and twist 
                                C      D 
was this all for real or some kind of hell 
C G       C             D 
666 the number of the beast 
 C        G       C                D 
Hell and fire was spawned to be released 
 
 D 
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised 
                                C       D 
as they start to cry hands held to the sky 
 D 
In the night the fires burning bright 
                              C        D 
the ritual has begun Satan's work is done 
 
C G       C             D 
666 the number of the beast 
 C     G      C         D 
Sacrifice is going on tonight 
 
 D 
This can't go on I must inform the law 
                                 C     D 
Can this still be real or some crazy dream 
D 
but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes 
                                      C          D 
they seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes 
 
 
C G       C             D 
666 the number of the beast 
C G       C             D 
666 the one for you and me 
 
 D                             C 
I'm coming back I will return 
                                           D 
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn 
 D 
I have the fire I have the force 
   C 
I have the power to make my evil take it's course

Number Of The Beast

&quot;Fear of the Dark&quot; is a song written by Steve Harris, bass player and main songwriter for Iron Maiden, as the title track to Iron Maiden's 1992 album Fear of the Dark. This is the only song from the Fear of the Dark album to still be played in concerts today, although &quot;Afraid to Shoot Strangers&quot; was often played live until 1998.  The single &quot;Fear of the Dark (live)&quot; is the 26th single released by the band. This live version of the song (as well as the live version of &quot;Bring Your Daughter...To the Slaughter&quot;) is taken from the live album A Real Live One.

chords: 
D      Bb            C                   Bb      C      D
I am a man who walks alone, and when I'm walking a dark road 
            Bb                    C         Bb  C  D
At night or strolling through the park
         Bb              C                   F      C     D
When the light begins to change, I sometimes feel a little strange 
         Bb                C
A little anxious when it's dark.

C           Bb    C                  D     C
Fear of the dark,         fear of the dark 
       Bb                 F           C      D
I have constant fear that something's always near 
            Bb     C                   D    C
Fear of the dark,          fear of the dark 
         Bb          F         C      D
I have a phobia that someone's always there

D                 Bb               C                  Bb        C         D
Have you run your fingers down the wall, and have you felt your neck skin crawl 
           Bb                 C         Bb  C  D
When you're searching for the light? 
                      Bb              C             F      C      D
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look, at the corner of the room 
	          Bb                    C
You've sensed that something's watching you.

Fear of the dark,fear of the dark 
I have constant fear that something's always near 
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark 
I have a phobia that someone's always there

D             Bb            C                  Bb        C     D
Have you ever been alone at night, thought you heard footsteps behind 
           Bb                   C         Bb  C  D
And turned around, and no-one's there?
           Bb              C                 F       C    D
And as you quicken up your pace, you find it hard to look again 
               Bb                   C
Because you're sure there's someone there

Fear of the dark,fear of the dark 
I have constant fear that something's always near 
Fear of the dark,fear of the dark 
I have a phobia that someone's always there

D               Bb              C                Bb      C   D
Watching horror films the night before, debating witches and folklore 
            Bb               C         Bb  C  D
The unknown troubles on your mind 
           Bb              C                  F            C    D
Maybe your mind is playing tricks, you sense, and suddenly eyes fix 
           Bb           C
On dancing shadows from behind.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark 
I have a constant fear that something's always near 
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark 
I have a phobia that someone's always there.

When I'm walking a dark road 
I am a man who walks alone
