Soo, this is my first tab and I hope you like it!
This complete tab is copied from Marty Music *https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmnlTWVJysjWPFiZhQ5uudg
I found this video of him teaching Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen, very, very useful and I really loved the way
he made the song really easy for the guitar.

This the way Marty teaches the song on Youtube. Because he doesn't use tabs, I made it for you.
In the video he only teaches the first part of the song, so the opera section,
Rock and the Ballad style outro are not included.

I really recommend to watch the video, and now you can use this tab beside it :D

Capo 3rd
Tabs relative to the capo.

The first 4 chords are played with just 1 down stroke.

[Intro]


Is this the re

al life?

Is this just f

antasy?

Caught in a la

ndslide,
      
No escape from

 reality.


From now on you just strum down for a bit

[Verse 1]


Open your eyes

,
            
Look up to the

           
 skies and see

,
            
I'm just a poo

       
r boy, I need 

no sympathy,
            
Because I'm ea

           
sy come, easy 


go,
          
Little high, l

#     
ittle low,
            
Any way the wi

         
nd blows doesn

         
't really matt

er to me, to m

e.


When the 'me' from the last sentence comes in the tab starts. Originally played on piano but sounds
really cute on the guitar,
