Song Title: Put Out The Fire

Artist: Queen (Brian May)

Tabbed by: bmchrestoff (May 23, 1988 to May 29, 1988)

IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) Standard Tuning and No Capo

2) Brian May uses two tracks to lay down the guitar work but I have tabbed

the song f/ just one guitar. Guitar #2 pops in and out at certain points

in the song f/ emphasis but I just made this a Composite Arrangement

of Guitars #1 & #2. Sticking in some of the Guitar #2 chords can be tricky

3) I tabbed the Intro showing how Brian May produced those cool chords that

most guitarist have always thought are just three simple D chords being

struck.....not so

4) All the quick bends Brian sneaks in are brought up a 1/2 step or semitone

5) I added some $$ Optional known "Live" chord grips that Brian used Live

6) Brian's Guitar Solo was partly taken from a Star Licks Series VHS Tape I still

have where he shows you how to play it correctly. I tabbed both Guitars
