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!

From the 1st, self-titled albumn.)
The real intro is some wild stuff around an Em that is well beyond my abilities. After enough Em improv it crashes into a B7 (I think). Then the intro below. Most of the verse material is light chops down (/).
Chords: C# = xx4121, C#7 = x4342x, Dmaj7 = xx0222
Intro: Am Em D C# A Dmaj7 / / / / / / /

Once I could laugh with everyone, once I could see the good in me The black and the white distinctively, coloring, holding the world inside Now all the world is grey to me, nobody can see (you gotta believe it)
[Chorus, ending:]
