Tab commisioned by my friend Lorenzo
Performed at Wembley '86
Original key: Eb major (the strings of the guitar are tuned down of a halfstep). You can obtain the right key tuning the guitar down of a halfstef and playing in E.
Queen used to keep the acoustic guitar tuned down a halfstep, because they played these songs (Baby I Don't Care, Hello Mary Lou, Tutti Frutti, in cronological order) suddenly after Is This The World We Created, which Freddie wanted to perform in key of Db instead of D.
Besides, the live version of these songs needs low string tension, and this is a way to obtain a low tension!
I strongly advise you to listen carefully to the Queen at Wembley album, so that you can easily understand the right rithm these songs need. It's very difficult to explain it by words or by drawings.
in E major:
One minute
I need my fucking water but I don't care
Give me the right key fox,
