You And I
Queen
(John Deacon)
Day At The Races (1976)
Some notes on playing below

Music is playing in the darkness
and a lantern goes swinging by
Shadows flickering, my heart's jittering
Just you and I
Not tonight, come tomorrow
When everything's sunny and bright
No no no, come tomorrow 'cause
then we'll be waiting for the moonlight
We'll go walking in the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
Laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don't mean a thing
When you're by my side
Please stay a while
You know I never could forsee the future years
You know I never could see
Where life was leading me
But will we be together forever?
What will be my love?
Can't you see that I just don't know?
-Solo- [Verse chords]
No no, not tonight, not tomorrow
Everything's gonna be alright (sunny and bright)
Wait and see if tomorrow we'll be
as happy as we're feeling tonight
We'll go walking in the moonlight (we'll be happy)
Walking in the moonlight
I can hear the music in the darkness
Floating softly to where we lie
No more questions now
Let's enjoy tonight
(Just you and I)
Just you and I
- - - (play around with these until the end)
Just you and I
Can't you see that we've gotta be together
Be together just you and I just you and I
No more questions just you and I
Notes:
For the last line of the verse, where the chord progression goes like this: - -
- , I like to do a little fast picking on strings 4-6 (low to ), as the chord
progression sounds kind of awkward.
What I do is:
Of course, these can be strummed, and then it would go [320xxx]-[200xxx]-[x02xxx]-[xx0232]
Another thing, I add the to the third line of the verse, just for added color, but
it can easily be skipped.
