Note: This is my first tab so I hope it comes out right. I think I got the notes right, however, this is Queen and you can guess there are several guitars. Being only human I couldn't get them all. Brian - your comments and corrections and anybody else's who think they know better are welcome.

Legend:

> bend down \ slide down p.m. palm mute x hit the note without
p pull off h hammer on = hold note making it sound
Notes and tips:
1. Get the delay right - it helps
2. Listen to the song to get the rhythm (I've provided time marks from the CD)
3. Use the tremolo bar while playing throughout most of the song
4. I've divided the bars according to musical phrases and not according to the
correct notation (i.e. time notation etc.)
5. Take it easy and don't get frustrated - it won't help :-)
