...KILLER QUEEN... by Queen
------------------.........

*from 'Sheer Heart Attack' (1974)*

*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: Cm)


[Verse 1]

          Am               G7/B
She keeps Moët and Chandon in her pretty cabinet.
Am                              G7/B           C
 "Let them eat cake", she says, just like Mary Antoinette.

  C        Em         C7             F
A built in remedy for Khrushchev and Kennedy,
    Fm           C/G         F/G          G7
And any time, an invitation, you can't de-cline.


[Bridge 1]

E7          Am          G              C
 Caviar and cigarettes, well versed in etiquette.
      B7         Em   D7
Extra-ordinarily nice. She's a...


[Chorus 1]

G       Bm     Em         Bm
 Killer Queen, gunpowder, gelatine,
Em               F#7   Bm
 Dynamite with a laser beam.
E7      D/F#    E7/G#     A     G
 Guaran-teed to blow your mind; any time, ooh...

F#           Bm               E7          A
 Recommended at the price, in-satiable in appetite;
A  G            D  G/D  C/D  G/D  C/D  D  G  C/G
     Wanna try...?


[Verse 2]

     Am                      G7/B
To a-void complications, she never kept the same address.
Am                    G7/B              C
 In conversation, she spoke just like a baroness.

C               Em          C7             F
 Met a man from China, went down to Geisha Minah,
       Fm         C/G                 F/G         G7
Then a-gain, inci-dentally, if you're that way in-clined.


[Bridge 2]

             E7             Am
Perfume came naturally from Paris, (naturally),
    G                  C               B7             Em   D7
For cars, she couldn't care less; fast-idious and pre-cise. She's a...


[Chorus 2]

G       Bm     Em         Bm
 Killer Queen, gunpowder, gelatine,
Em               F#7   Bm
 Dynamite with a laser beam.
E7      D/F#    E7/G#     A     G
 Guaran-teed to blow your mind; any time.

[Bridge 3]

          E7            Am          E7           Am
Drop of a hat, she's as willing as, playful as a pussycat.
     G           C              G           C
Then momentarily out of action, temporarily out of gas;
