C5 C5 D5 E5 D5 The blizzard goes on but still they must fly B5 C5 D5 C5 C5 D5 E5 D5 B5 C5 D5 No one should go where eagles dare... [Riff 1] x2 /w lyrics: [Riff 2] x1 Bavarian alps that lay all around they seem to stare from below, The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow.

I am assuming that Dave Murray is playing this while Adrian keeps playing the original riff, but someone correct me. Also, I cannot tell whether Dave is playing the low E notes when he switches to this riff.
