[Intro]
Well she's gone dear
Gone this morning, mmh yeah
Ow, see what a fool I've been - oh Lord, cootchie cool
What a fool I've been
Yes, I dig it

[Verse 1]
Too much
Didn't leave me-me no letter, didn't leave no warning
You naughty thing, you
Ooh - well I guess I am to blame oh lord
I guess I'm all to blame - see you later, sailor boy
Child, right now you take it

[Verse 2]
Hope my little dog ain’t too hungry
No, no, he just kept on barking, the vicious thing
Just don't feel the same
Said it just it just don't seem the same, oh no no
It just, oh tantrums, it don't feel the same
Ooh, see you later
Now hit it, like that
Coming on strong

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh, well I got so lonely
Went and told my neighbour
She said "Ah ooh ooh ooh ooh"
Oh Lord
What a fool I've been
And she told what to do
She said "Go home"

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Well she's gone - gone this morning
See what a fool I've been, oh lord
What a... foo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ool... I've been

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
