Tabs

Queen - I Can't Live With You
Innuendo
1991

A augmentedA great song by Queen and I found only one tab for it and since it
was incomplete I'm trying to finish it now.
I used Persechini Bruno's version as a starting point.
I decided to cut the guitar parts into riffs so it is
easier to follow. (At least I hope so...) Anyway, here you go:

Standard tuning (EADGBE)

Notes:         Chord formations:
/ - slide up      E MajorE  (079997)
\ - slide down     A augmentedA  (x02220) or (577655)
h - hammer-on     A minorAm  (x02210) or (577555)
p - pull-off      BB  (x24442) or (799877)
b - bend string    C majorC  (x35553)
r - release      G+G  (355433)
~ - vibrato      D MajorD  (x57775)
            F#m7F#m7 (244252)

the G+G string going to the B, the other is from BB to E...)

Riff 1 A augmentedA  BB to fade

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well that's it, not 100% precise but that's the way we play it and
I think it's fairly close. At least it sounds OK.
There are many guitar fills in the song that I haven't
transcribed so you gotta figure them out for yourselves.
