[Verse 1]
When the moons rises
The dogs will howl
Look out of your window
I will be on the prowl
I am not usually
A gambling man
But oh I just want to
Hold up my hands

[Chorus]
And say I am
Taking a chance on you love
Whoa I am taking a chance on you love

[Verse 2]
I am not superstitious
And I do not wear no charm
I do not carry my heart on the sleeve of my arm
Seven years of bad luck
Please do not worry me
Cause when I look in the mirror
Here is the future I see

[Chorus]
I am taking a chance on you love
Whoa, I am taking a chance on you love

[Verse 3]
Place your bets, Better yet
Do not forget, What I said
Roll the dice, Spin the wheel
Always remember, You have got to keep it real
Do not believe in voodoo
Black magic was never my style
But I believe you do
And it will not take much time
To gather the portions
That weave your magic spell
The moon on the ocean
Has a secret to tell

[Chorus]
But anyway I am
Taking a chance on you love
Whoa I am taking a chance on you love[x2]

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.
