Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen

Lots of innacurate tabs and instructional videos for this tune. I had to watch a couple of youTube videos of Freddie Mercury performing this song to get the right chord progression in the bridge section. And yes, he does play an F major chord before the bass line riff.

Tab: in word document format

Instructional video: Here's an excellent bass guitar lesson on how to play this tune from John Deacon.
