Crazy Little Thing Called Love Tab By Queen

 


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.

		         by Queen

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

	   D			G	   C	   G
this, thing,  called love, I must, get round to it,

	D	Bb	      C		   D
I anit ready,  Crazy little thing called love.

	  D			G	C		G
This thing, called love, it cries, in craddle at night,

     D			   G			C	G
it swings, it jives, it shakes, all overlike a jelly-fish,

	   D	  Bb		C	      D
I kinda like it, Crazy little thing called love.

	      G		 C			  G
There goes my baby, she knows how to rock and roll,

		D		   G		A
She drives me crazy, she gives me hot and cold fever,

	   F					E		A
then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat.

	     D			G	C	G	   D
I gotta be cool, relax, get hip, get on my tracks, take a back seat, hitch-hike

      G			    C	   G		   D
And take a long ride on my motor bike until I'm ready,

Bb		C	     D
Crazy Little thing called love.
