Queen- Cool Cat (Deacon/Mercury)
Album- Hot Space
Comments: I worked this out playing open chords on an acoustic, if you're playing
electric and want it to sound exactly John plays on the record you probably want
to play the song with barre chords high up the neck.
Key of E
E-A
You're taking all the sunshine away
E-A
Making out like you're the mainline - I knew that

Cos you're a cool cat Tapping on the toe with a new hat

Feeling the beat of my heart
E-A
