Killer Queen

Words & Music:

Freddie Mercury

          Cm               Bb7

She keeps Moet and Chandon in her pretty cabinet,

Cm                             Bb7            Eb

"Let them eat cake," she says, just like Mary Antoinette.

           Bb/D       Eb7/Db       Ab/C

A built-in remedy for Kruschev and Kennedy,

    Abm/Cb      Eb/Bb      Bb11

And any time an invitation you can decline.

G7         Cm          Bb7            Eb              D7         Gm

Caviar and cigarettes, well-versed in etiquette, extraordinarily nice.

 

CHORUS:

F7      Bb     Dm/A   Gm    Gm/F Dm   Dm/F Gm              A7    Dm

She's a Killer Queen, Gunpowder, gelatine, dynamite with a laser beam,

G7                      C    Bb

Guaranteed to blow your mind, anytime, ooooh.

A7          Dm              G7          Cm       C Bb

Recommended at the price, insatiable an appetite,

          F    Bb/F    F7     Bb/F    F    Bb    F7    Bb/F

Wanna try?

 

To avoid complications, she never kept the same address,

In conversation she spoke just like a baroness.

 

Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah,

Then again, incidentally, if you're that way inclined.

Perfume came naturally from Paris,

For cars she couldn't care less, fastidious and precise.

 

CHORUS:

 

INSTRUMENTAL OVER:

A    Dm    A    Dm    G7    Cm    G7    Cm

Eb/F    Cm    Eb/F    F    E/F    F

Cm    Bb    Cm    Bb    Eb

Bb/D    Eb7/Db    Ab/C    Abm/Cb

Eb/Bb        Bb7    Eb/Bb    Bb7

 

          G7            Cm          G7           Cm

Drop of a hat, she's as willing as, playful as a pussycat,

     Bb          Eb

Then momentarily out of action,

Bb          Eb             D7         Gm    F

Temporarily out of gas; to absolutely drive you

Bb  F Bbm          F                      

Wild, wild.  She's out to get you!

 

CHORUS: (What a drag!)  F    Bb/F  [repeat and out]
