Queen is an English rock band originally consisting of four members: vocalist and pianist Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, bass guitarist John Deacon, and drummer Roger Taylor.
The band formed in London in 1970 after May and Taylor's former band Smile split after having released an album and single. Freddie replaced lead vocalist Tim Staffell, after the latter's departure from the original trio.
There was much deliberation as to what the band's name would be.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
F I was told a million times BbF Of all the troubles in my way
How to grow a little wiser BbF Little better every day C But if I crossed a million rivers Db And I rode a million miles Ab Then I'd still be where I started C Bread and butter for a smile F Well I sold a million mirrors BbF In a shoppin' alley way
But I never saw my face BbF In any window any day C Well they say your folks are telling you Db To be a superstar Ab But I tell you just be satisfied A7 To stay right where you are
[Chorus]
DG Keep yourself alive DA keep yourself alive DD It'll take you all your time and a money DAD Honey you'll survive
[Verse 2]
F Well I've loved a million women BbF In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners BbF Brought to me on silver trays C Give me everything I need Db To feed my body and my soul Ab And I'll grow a little bigger C Maybe that can be my goal F I was told a million times BbF Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying BbF And get better every day C But if I crossed a million rivers Db And I rode a million miles Ab Then I'd still be where I started A7 Still be where I started
[Chorus]
DGDA Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive DGD It'll take you all your time and money honey AD You'll survive DGDA Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive DG It'll take you all your time and money DAD To keep me satisfied
[Bridge]
N.C. Do you think you're better every day No I just think I'm two steps nearer to my grave
[Chorus]
