Well... I've been taking so much tablature and information from this newsgroup that I thought I'd better repay the favour. I hope this bass transcription is o f some use to at least somebody in the world and I guess some guitarists may be able to use the names of the chords given. If this is of any use to you, please really would appreciate any sensible comments. Also, if antbody else wants some more Queen transcriptions, I may be able to help. Look forward to hearing from people, Cheers! Alex Petrie. awdp@ib.rl.ac.uk Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen (Words and Music By F. Mercury) 1975 Is this the real life etc..
