My Melancholy Blues

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

Transcribed by Bil Irving

Someone asked for the music to "My Melancholy Blues". 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

Fm

Eb/G
Be intoxicated with that

Fm7          Bb7
Special brew    So come and

(in 4)
Eb        G7

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

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

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.
