          Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Freddie Mercury
From: “Jazz” (1978)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Links 1-3 are basically the same, but follow the vocals when they are used.
I made basic tabs, so one can see how they slightly differ. Check them out
and when playing the song, adjust the pattern to the feel of the vocals.
