Queen - Cool Cat (Deacon/Mercury)
Album: Hot Space
Comments: I worked this out by watching James Rundle's lesson (https://binged.it/2GMKEfg)
and playalong on YouTube (https://binged.it/2GKQXjE) as well as this one by basix4:
https://binged.it/2GOyvGH,
but James Rundle's chord boxes do not always correspond to what he's actually playing.
