The Great Pretender (Buck Ram)
as recorded by Freddie Mercury
somewhat transcribed by Egils Kaljo (kaljoe@rpi.edu)
I only put chords down because there are so many different versions of this
song that anything besides chords would be basically useless... This is
hardly perfect, and if someone could play through it and give a second opinion,
it would be most appreciated.
