This is one bad ass song.
Little Intro Riff (RIFF ONE):
| E | |
| B | |
| G | 7 |
| D | 7 |
| A | 5p3p2 5 |
| D | 5b 0 3b 0 |
Brian May hits this before the next riff starts...
F5
VERSE RIFF (RIFF TWO):
The first one is repeated once.
| E | |
| B | |
| G | 7 7 7\5 7 7 5 5 5 5\3 5 5 3 5 5 5\3 |
| D | 7 7 7\5 7 7 5 5 5 5\3 5 5 3 5 5 5\3 5 |
| A | 5 5 5\3 5 5 3 3 3 3\1 3 3 1 3 3 3\1 5 |
| D | 5 |
During part of the song, there is a variation......
That variation goes a little something like this...
| E | |
| B | |
| G | 7 7 7\5 7 |
| D | 7 7 7\5 7 7 7 5 |
| A | 5 5 5\3 5 7 8 3 |
| D | |
RIFF THREE:
| E | |
| B | |
| G | 7 |
| D | 3 0 7 |
| A | 3 0 5 |
| D | 3 0 |
CHORUS RIFF (RIFF FOUR):
| E | |
| B | |
| G | |
| D | 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 3/5 5 5 5 5 5 8 8 8 12 0 |
| A | 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 3/5 5 5 5 5 5 8 8 8 12 0 |
| D | 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 3/5 5 5 5 5 5 8 8 8 12 0 |
For one part of the chorus, do this:
| E | |
| B | |
| G | |
| D | 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3 5 |
| A | 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3 5 |
| D | 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3 5 |
Then, there will be little things you will need for the song to play
it exactly. For example, there is a pick slide at one part. Before
The 2nd chorus, palm-mute the bass strings open.
To start the bridge, use this "chord":
Then the bridge is something like this:
| E | |
| B | |
| G | 5 5 5\3 5 |
| D | 5 5 5\3 5 5 5 5/3 5 5 5 5 3 5 5 5 3 |
| A | 3 3 3\1 3 5 5 5/3 5 5 5 5 3 5 5 5 3 |
| D | 5 5 5/3 5 5 5 5 3 5 5 5 3 |
That's enough, don't you think?
Have fun.
If you don't know where each riff goes, and how many times to play it,
I pity you.
