^^^^ This is used for the whole song, the only difference is on the second chorus/ the
build up to the solo, you play the last chord twice as long
And during the last chorus you repeat the last part of the Verse again
Freddie: Lead (no capo)
Intro: reverb and distortion,, tremolo
Not sure on the amount of strums for the intro so just guess: p
