Chords for Shawn James – Number of the Beast (Acoustic cover) – Live at the Heartbreak House

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The first time I played 666, _ it was a pretty cool experience,
because I didn't know how it was going to go over.
[B] Because normally, Number of the Beast is a song that's much faster and thrashy
and kind of metal from Iron Maiden.
And when I did it, [Gb] it became a much [C] more [B] slower, sadder, much darker song in general.
But the response was incredible, [Eb] because everybody really,
I feel like they related to it in a whole other way,
because I presented it in a whole other way,
rather than the more heavy guitars and everything else.
It's very strip bare, and people related to the lyrics a little bit more.
And it took them a little bit to catch on to what was the song, actually,
when I started it, because they never really listened to the lyrics in that way before.
So I loved it, and I continue to play it show by show. _

_ I left alone, _ _ _ _ my mind was blank
_ _ _ _ I needed [C] _ time to think, and get the memories [G] from my mind
_ _ What did I _ see?
_ _ _ Can I believe _ _ _ _ that what I [C] saw in light
Was really not just [Dm] fantasy _
_ _ _ Just what I saw _ _ _ _ in my own _ _ _ _ dreams
Was a _ [C] reflection of my warped mind
_ [G] Staring back at [D] _
_ me
_ [Dm] In [D] my _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ dreams
It's always _ _ _ _ _ there
The evil [C] _ face that twists my mind
And leads me [D] to [Dm]
