Queen - I Can't Live With You

      
 
 Queen - I Can't Live With You
 Innuendo
 1991 
  
 A great song by Queen and I found only one tab for it and since it
 was incomplete I'm trying to finish it now.
 I used Persechini Bruno's version as a starting point.
 I decided to cut the guitar parts into riffs so it is
 easier to follow. (At least I hope so...) Anyway, here you go:
 
 Standard tuning (EADGBE)
 
 Notes: Chord formations:
 / - slide up E (079997)
 \ - slide down A (x02220) or (577655)
 h - hammer-on Am (x02210) or (577555)
 p - pull-off B (x24442) or (799877)
 b - bend string C (x35553)
 r - release G (355433)
 ~ - vibrato D (x57775)
                   F#m7 (244252) 
 Riff 1 (in chorus)

 E-----------------------------|
 B--9-9--9--9--9\--(2)---------|
 G--9-9--9--9--9\--(2)---------| (I can't live with you...)

 (I think it's actually played by two guitars, one starting from
 the G string going to the B, the other is from B to E...)
 
 CHORUS  
  at 2:50
 
 OUTRO   
  at 3:15
 Riff 1 A B to fade

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 

 Well that's it, not 100% precise but that's the way we play it and
 I think it's fairly close. At least it sounds OK.
 There are many guitar fills in the song that I haven't
 transcribed so you gotta figure them out for yourselves.
