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 post a reply either to the newsgroup as an article or E-Mail me personally, I 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!
