THE QUEEN AND I
As recorded by Gym Class Heroes
From the album AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN
Transcribed by Ben.jammin
This song just sounds cool so i had to try to figure it out. I'm sure there are other
to play it, but this way seemed pretty simple to me. I know its not all the way correct
its a start. If you just listen to the song, i'm pretty sure you can figure the rhythms out.
Gtr I (E A D G B E)
Gtr II (E A D G B E)
****BOTH GUITARS HAVE CAPO ON 5th FRET, all notes relative to the capo****
Riff 1 (this is played throughout the song, listen for the rhythm)
