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...)
D--9-9--9--9--9\--(2)---------|
A--7-7--7--7--7\--(0)---------|
E-----------------------------|
Riff 2 (in verse)
E-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G-----------------------------| (I'm having a hard time...)
D----4----2/3/4----2/3/4------|
A----4----2/3/4----2/3/4------|
E----2----0/1/2----0/1/2------|
Riff 3 (in verse)
E-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G-----------------------------| (You may think that I don't care...)
D-----------------------------|
A---1-/2-/3-/4---7p4----------|
E---------------------4-------|
Riff 4 (in verse)
E-------------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------------|
G-6-----------------------------------------| (I travelled a long...)
D-7---7--7----5/6/7---7--7----5/6/7---7--7--|
A-7---7--7----5/6/7---7--7----5/6/7---7--7--|
E-5-----------3/4/5-----------3/4/5---------|
Riff 5 (in verse)
E-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G-----------------------------| (But nothing's what it seems...)
D----------------------7------|
A--/4-/5-/6-/7---10p7--7------|
E-----------------------------|
And so the song goes like this:
[INTRO] at 0:01
Riff 1 (2x)
[CHORUS] at 0:06
Riff 1 A B

C - G | C - G | C - G | D - A | D - A | D - A
Lo-ver turns to ha-ter...
[CHORUS] at 01:03
(Riff 1 1x at the end!)
[VERSE 2] at 01:21
(Same as VERSE 1)
[PRE-CHORUS] at 01:42
C - G | C - G | C - G | D (2x)
Hold on baby...
C - G | C - G | C - G | D - A | D - A | D - A | B
Passions screaming hotter... ...gotta do...
[BRIDGE] at 2:03 (I'm not sure about this part...)

(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.
