Stratego chords by Iron Maiden

[Intro]

 Em C D Em  C  Am

[Verse 1]

E5
 How do you read a madman's mind?
                     C
Teach me the art of war
E5         
 For I shall bring 
                           C
more than you bargained for
E5
 Give me an ultimatum
                       C
That I could not dream of
E5     
 Spills of a crying 
                   C
nation upon my soul
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

    B5   C5   G5    A5     E5
For I   have not a mortal soul
  B5  C5  G5   A5     E5
That you  al--ready know
 C   G   D/F#  Em
Look at my     eyes
  C      G  D/F#  Bm   C   D
There’s no sur--prise
 
 
[Chorus]

Em              C
 Ocean is black, the devil's track
Am          D
 Looking beyond beneath the sea
Em               C
 Eye of the storm is here again
Am             D
 Been there before you were ever born
Em               C
Beyond the dark, I feel the pain
Am            D
 It's hidden but I can’t explain
Em               C
 A cross to bear, a heavy faith
Am           D             Em   C
 My sorrow whispers time again
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

   D5   E5  D5   G5   F#5  E5   C5
I hear you cal--ling my   name
      D5  E5   D5  G5  F#5  E5   C5
Come to claim my  life a---gain
      D5  E5  D5  G5    F#5   E5   C5
Pray for me   I'm al---most there
         D5  E5   D5  G5   F#5
The pain al-most too much to bear
 
 
[Verse 2]

E5
 I try to find my way back home
                   C
To feel the same again
E5         
 The voice of nothing 
                      C
listened far too long
E5
 Little by little eat away
                      C
I think I've lost my mind
E5               
 Too late to change now what 
              C
I left behind
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

 B5   C5  G5   A5     E5
Hear me, lis--ten my call
B5 C5  G5   A5    E5
I  am rea--dy to fall
 C    G    D/F#  Em
Lord hear me    now
 C   G   D/F#
Let me      
 Bm   C   D
Go

 Eye of the storm is here again
Am             D
 Been there before you were ever born

 Beyond the dark, I feel the pain

 My sorrow whispers time again
 
 
[Outro]

 Em   F#7  C   
 Am  Em  Em  Em  Em
