Crazy Little Thing Called Love Tab By Queen

From: Dirt Bird

(my first contribution!)
3 guitars here, 2 acoustics doubling each other (denoted by gtr 1) +
1 clean electric (try single coil bridge position - gtr 2). The bass
guitar part here is VERY important - it makes the song.
I'm including the electric fills - + the vsn by Gary Chapman has a
solo which looks slightly wrong.

CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LOVE - by Freddie Mercury.
