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 E|--- B|--- G|--- D|-3- A|-3- D|-3-
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":
E|--- B|--- G|--- D|-5- A|-5- D|-5-
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.
