To learn Iron Maiden - (Live: Reading Festival, 28 August 1982) The Prisoner chords, grasp the musical fabric of the song with this sequence - E, B, E, A, C#, B, D, A, B and A of chords. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 54 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 110. Configure the capo to your vocal range and chord preference, remembering the key of E Major.
