I don't have the full piano version, but I do have the chords and you can maybe use that as a starting point. I think Freddie himself improvised with this. Here goes anyway: Note: A, B and E are all flatted. Rubato Cm Another party's over Gm And I'm left cold sober F#dim Fm7 Edim My baby left me for somebody new Fm I don't want to talk about it Abm Want to forget about it wanna Eb/G Be intoxicated with that Fm7 Bb7 Special brew So come and (in 4) Eb G7 get me Let me Ab Abm get in that sinking feeling Eb F#dim Fm7 that says my heart is on an all-time low Bb7 Eb So don't expect me G7 To behave perfectly Ab Abm And wear that sunny smile Eb/G F#dim My guess is I'm in for a Fm7 cloudy and overcast F#dim Don't try and stop me cos I'm Eb/G Edim Fm Fm(nat7) Fm7 heading for that stormy weather soon && Ab I'm causing a mild sensation Abm With this new occupation Eb/G Cm I'm permenantly glued to Gm Cm this extraordinary mood. So now move o- Fm7 ver let me take F#dim over with my Fm7 F#dim Ab7 Bb7 Eb Mel - an - chol - y Blues For the second bit (I'm in the news, etc) just repeat the bits between the && signs as its the same music. Not too sure about the piano solo though.
