Another fun Maiden song to play! Should be pretty close to perfect. The tone Steve uses
in this album is very mid-oriented, so even though it's well audible, it's sometimes hard
to extract specific notes. I had this problem transcribing the scale progressions, especially
in the chorus. But they should be somewhere near the truth. Enjoy!
