 Standard Tuning
 
 Ok you Maiden fans, this is probably the best song on the album. I have
 only tabbed parts of the song so feel free to fill in the blanks. I will 
 talk you through each section to help you along.
 
 
 Intro Part I.: This beginning is done using triplets. It sounds like
                an organ, but I will give the boys the benefit of the guitar. 
                Listen to the song for timing and tempo.
