'Business' tab guide

Words and music by Brian May

The main section of this song is based on a simply (and very heavy) progression:

E5
D5  E5  D5  E5
C5  D4  D   C5  D4  D


The slow (and clean) section is formed by this chord:

G   D   C   D4   D
G   D   C   D4   D
G   D   C   D4   D


Here I try to detail the chords positions:
