Crazy Little Thing Called Love Queen

Tempo: 165 bpm (shuffle)

Chords Used:

D: xx0232 (or x5777x)


G: 320033 (or 355433)
C: x32010 (or x3555x)
Bb: x1333x (or 688766)
E: 022100 (or x7999x)
A: x02220 (or 577655)

Strumming Pattern: The pattern is basically just a swing pattern, so other than the stops
you're just playing DD, UU, DU over and over. Just watch for a few irregular chord changes.

Lead Used:

This part comes in RIGHT at the cool cool sweat part.

The top guitar part is the little riff that is played. It's not as hard as it seems, and I
will go into detail in the lesson part of the song. If you can't quite master the lead part,
I have also included the rhythm part. Nothing plays until you reach the 9th fret run, but
it's just E A G F# - E based on the tab on the bottom. To be honest, I found the riff
a little easier, but I also played it loosely. Note that you begin singing at the end of the
last measure. When you get to the word cool you should be playing the D Major. That may
take some time to get down, but the riff run follows the vocals almost perfectly.

Intro: D

Verse 1

D G C G
This thing called love, I just can't handle it.
D G C G
