Here is an obscure track by the not very well known band Marillion that in spite 
of sounding incredibly bad ass, has never (as far as I know) been played live by 
the band (Aug 2013), and I doubt it ever will.
So what this means is that if they won't do it, we have to do it ourselves!
Here are the chords, grab your instrument and start playing!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Scale: C minor/Aeolian (bbb)
