Man on the Prowl
Queen
The Works, 1984
Mercury

The majority of this song is improvisational and flexible, I'm giving you the basic form 
the chords implied on the piano, but its tricky because of the walking baseline, plus 
vocal part can be deceptive.
I added the 7th where I could hear for sure they were on the record, but a 7 can be 
easily added to any chord anywhere in the tune.
