Queen: You're My Best Friend
Listen to the original song to get a feel for the intro and chord changes.
The few versions that I found on the net were not that easy to play, so here is a
modified version.
Sounds great played on an acoustic with a jazzy / bluesy vocal, fingerpicking
optional for a different sound
Hope you enjoy, Sean
Cheers to Mal and Clare - what a great day
