Nevermore

Words and music by Freddie Mercury

Transcribed by Stefan Wolf

The chords of this song are rather easy to play. Some parts might sound different from the original - because I have only written down "clean" chords (no "add9" or something). These parts are easier to play that way and it won't sound WORSE than in the CD-version.

Since I've listened to that song for the very first time I've wanted to play it on the piano. It has a great text and a breathtaking melody. For me, it has always been the greatest Queen-lovesong. I like it even more than Love Of My Life. I wonder why "Nevermore" isn't that popular.


           F                    Dm
There's no living in my life anymore.

    Am                         Bb           F
The seas have gone dry and the rain stopped falling.

F                       Dm
Please don't you cry anymore

          Am
Can't you see

Bb            F       Bb            F
Listen to the breeze, whisper to me please

      D7                          C    C7  F
Don't send me to the path of nevermo - o - ore.


F                  Dm             Am                      Bb       F
Even the valleys below, where the rays of the sun were so warm and tender

F                       Dm
Now haven't anything to grow

          Am
Can't you see

    Bb              F
Why did you have to leave me,

Bb            F
Why did you deceive me

    D7                          C
You send me to the path of nevermore

         C7                        Bb   F   Am
When you say you didn't love me anymo - o - ore

 Bb   F
(Ah - Ah)

Bb
Nevermore,

F
Nevermore.
