[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
This thing called love I [G] just can't handle [D] it
This thing called love [G] I must get around to [D] it
I ain't ready [Bb] for this [C] thing [D] called love
This thing called love [G] It cries like a baby in a cradle all [D] night
And it swings a whoop whoop with jazz [G] It shakes all over like a jellyfish, I [D] kinda
like [Bb] it [C] This thing [D] called love
[G] There goes my baby [C] She knows how [G] to rock and [A] roll, she [Bb] drives me
crazy [E] She gives me hot [A] club fever
And then [E] she puts me in a [D] cool cool [C] sweat
[Ab] _ [Em] _ [E] _
[A] [Gb] I [D] gotta be cool, [B] relax, [G] get hip, get on my [D] track
Shake a back seat, hitchhike, [G] take a long ride
I'm more uptight than [D] when I'm ready
[C] Crazy little [D] thing called love [Bb] [C] Crazy little [D] thing called love
[Bb] Crazy [C] little thing [D] called love [Bb] [C] Crazy [D] little thing called love
I love this [A] song, it is amazing [N] and the only thing that is stopping most beginners from
checking out this song are the couple of bar chords that we have in it, namely a B flat
[Bb] Oh my words, the B flat gives [N] beginners so many problems, you thought the F was bad
Not a patch on this bad boy, but because we're on this chord for such a short amount of time
I'm going to give you one total cheat that will enable you to play this song much quicker
and get the vast majority of the way through it sort of straight away
And what I would encourage you to do to get the speed of this straight away
You [D] know the standard chords we have are D major, [G] the G chords etc [F] etc
What I would encourage you to do for the B [E] flat is this
Which on its own sounds a bit James Bond, I will give you that
We can do this without the [Bb] finished string ringing out, which would just be that
In which case what we're playing are fingers 2, 3 and 4 [F] at the 3rd fret on strings 2, 3 and 4
Ok, like this
You can have your 1st finger or however you want to do it muting the other strings
Because if we [Bb] just have those 3 notes ringing out, you know 4, 3 and 2
Then we are playing a proper B chord and it saves you from having to barre
One thing I will say is if you notice when I play this tricky, this is tricky
The 1st fret barre chord, look how close my elbow is to my body, that's the trick
Keep your [C] elbow right in, get your 1st [Bb] finger on that angle
And you might just be able to do it, [D] who knows
The other thing [N] that you may not know about this song or that I would love to bring to your attention
Is the fact that we have this sus4 chord, which is a D chord adding the 4th [D] finger
There's our D [G] chord, sus4 there, that is the 4th note [Em] of a major [G] scale of the D major scale
That is why that is called [D] a sus4, but if I just do this, if I do the same strumming pattern
_ _ 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, _
[N] it could be any song
It is adding the sus4 chord that makes this song a riff [D] and makes it instantly recognisable
_ [Dbm] All from [Bm] just adding the sus4 chord and again that's a down [Abm] and up strumming pattern
1 and 2 and 3 [D] and 4 and, and it is on beat 2
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and
[G] I can't explain it longer than that otherwise this video is going to be 2 hours long
Maybe it should [Ab] be 2 hours long, it is a good enough song
But let's move on, [D] the next chord in the song is a [G] G
Which I would play an all fingers G, 1 2 3 4
And [C] then it is entirely up to you, [G] C add 9 which is like this or a full C chord
It depends how much you want to move your [D] fingers
The chords so far for the verse have been D, [G] G, [C] [G] C and D [D] this thing
All love, [G] I must [C] get [G] around to it
It doesn't matter, [C] the option of the C or the C add 9, take your pick
[D] You're playing the guitar after all remember
It is only when we have the next line which [Bb] is
Crazy [C] little [D] thing called love, that things get really tricky
Again [Bb] my recommendation would be for [Em] this chord
[F] Fingers 2 3 and 4 on strings 2 3 and 4 at the 3rd fret
Muting the other strings or at [Bb] least trying to mute the thickest string with your thumb
You're literally there for [C] 2 beats, C chord, [D] G
[A] Have a listen
[C] Crazy little thing called [D] love, [Gm] [C] crazy [D] little thing called love
It's [B] up to you but I don't think that sounds a lot [Bb] different to
[Em] Crazy little [A] thing called love, [Bb] crazy [C] little [D] thing called [A] love
My team [Bb] mate
Crazy [C] little [D] thing called love
[N] Entirely up to you, if you want to do it the bar chord way
Be my guest, be my guest, put your bar chords to the test
There goes my baby
I don't even think this is, the verse is kind of the chorus in this one
But anyway, the there goes my baby [G] section G chord
There goes my baby
I would probably go for [C] a full C chord
She knows [G] how to rock and roll
She drives [Bb] me crazy
Again you've got that
_ [A] This sounds so [Bb] dramatic _
Kind of [Am] Broadway [Bb] harmony
But [Am] again that B flat, [B] if you can go for the bar chord
Put your [C] bar chords to the test
She [Bb] drives me crazy
Then it would be, or I play for [E] this bit
She leaves me hot and cold, [A] feverish
And leaves [E] me in a cold, cold sweat
That was easy
She leaves me [A] in a cold, cold sweat
And we have this such [Em] genius little [Db] run down
[C] [D] Which is [Bbm] 5th fret, [C] 4th fret, [A] 3rd fret
[Ab] 5th, [G] 4th and 3rd again
[D] Started on string 5
Then we did it on string [C] 6
[A] _ [G] [D] Ok, [C] [D] just down [Db] picks
[A] And [Ab] _
[G] [E] then we have the
_ [E] E to A again E, [A] A
And I would do
[Gb] _ [Em] 3, [E] 2, open
[A] And [G] _ [Em] _ [D] then we're back to the verse [G] again
It is, it almost does
Ok, so that trickier section again
From there goes my baby From G
There goes my baby
She [C] knows how [G] to rock and roll
She drives me, the tricky [Bb] B flat
_ _ [E] She leaves me hot and cold, [A] feverish
And leaves me in a [B] cold, cold [Dbm] sweat
[Cm] [A] Da, da, da, da
[G] _ [E] _ _ [A] _ [G]
[Gb] Back to [E] a verse
I gotta [D] be cool
_ _ Relax
Strumming G [G] chord
_ Hennessy, I'd mind
[D] Take a back seat Hitchhike
[G] Take a long ride
On my motorbike
[D] Until I'm ready
[Bb] Crazy little
I'm still using the G chord
It sounds [A] good to me
[C] Crazy little [D] thing called love
[Abm] I gotta be cool [N] Relax Get hip
Get on my tracks
Take a back seat Hitchhike
Hope you're ready to play
Take a long ride
On my motorbike
Until I'm ready
Crazy little [D] thing called love
[Gb] This [D] _ ain't called love
[G] I just can't handle it
[D] This thing called love
[G] I'm not getting around [D] to it
I need it ready
[F] And then [Em] repeat the last [D] three chords
Repeat the last three chords
[C] Crazy little thing [D] called love
[C] Crazy little thing [D] called love
[Bb] Crazy [Em] little thing [D] called love
_ [Bb] [C] Crazy little [D] thing called love
What a song!
[E] Let me know [B] if you want any more Queen songs
I've done One Vision so far
I'm [Am] wanting to do Bohemian Rhapsody
But, you know, there's some tricky bits [G] to learn and work out in that one I'm afraid
But let me know if you want any other ones
There's some Belting ones
Have a strum with this one over the summer
It is fantastic
And I'll see you in another video
