Subject: BTAB: Another One Bites the Dust by Queen
From: lancelot@pipeline.com (Andrew Paul Cherry)

Another One Bites the Dust, by Queen 
(John Deacon) off the 1980 album, "The Game." 
Grammy award for best cross-over record, thanks to the bass riff stolen/
loaned/ borrowed/ 
influenced by Chic's "Good Times." 
 
Anyway, here is the intro riff, and the primary verse riff: 
 
G--------------------------- 
D--------------------------- 
A--------------------------- 
E-53-0-0-0--00-0-3-5 
 
This is played throughout the song, about a million times. 
the second riff (pre-chorus) is: 
 
G---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
D--------------5-----------------------------------5------------------ 
A-3-3--3-45------3-3--3-45-----3-3--3-45-------------------- 
E---------------3-----------------3-----------------3--5-5--5-67- 
 ready. . .        hanging. . . outta. . . .     to the. . . 
 
Play riff 1 here, 3 times, then play the following bit: 
 
G------------------- 
D------------------- 
A------------------- 
E-2---765-5---2 
   Hey gonna. . . 
 
During the instrumental break, riff 1 is played a few times, but in
concert, John Deacon plays the 
below riff, while Brian May improvises all over the D-scale. 
 
G----------------- 
D----------------- 
A----------------- 
E-0-2-3-2-0-0 
 
He alternates back and forth between that and riff 1 for the solo, then
returns to the verse. 
 
Good plucking!
