This is for all the extreme-fanatic of Queen. Brian played with a Classical (nylon strings) Guitar and in normal tune (E-B-G-D-A-E). If you use the chord as I use, it's very easy. In the main riff use the following chords:
/ A \
| | |(1)| | use the first finger (left hand) in the 1st fret in
----------- the 3rd string and the other fingers making an A chord
| | 2 3 4 |
-----------
/ E/A \
| | | 1 | | Because the main riff is a combination of A and E/A
----------- chords is a lot easier if you just pull up the
| | 2 | | | fingers 3 and 4
-----------
Intro
