All the verses follow the pattern for verse one, except for verse 3!

3rd Verse: this one's different, it starts with G, goes to C,
G, A#5, E, A, then one choppy strum of F. You'll have to figure out the strumming
because it's easy to do but it takes up too much tab space.

This is a tribute to Elvis. Freddie wrote it in the bathtub.

He was a fan of Elvis. If you think this is Elvis, listen to Freddie on 'Man On The Prowl' from the works... even more Elvis!

It wasn't written in a bath or a hottub. However the inspiration came whilst visiting a SPA in Germany. And it surely read "he drives me crazy" not she, when FM originally penned it. Call me crazy, but us heterofreaks don't want to hear about manlove... This song was written in 1979, TWO YEARS AFTER Elvis had died. So get your facts straight, please... Cover-my-arse.
