Barcelona
Words and Music by Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran

This is as transcribed from the Queen Greatest Hits III album (however it is on the Freddie Mercury album but I think the versions differ slightly). Not a piece for beginners and you do need to know the piece very well as many of the chord changes are fast and brief in duration. The Spanish words, sung by Monserrat Caballe are also included below (Apologies to the Spanish audience for any spelling mistakes)
Intro: GHIII version Bells, Orchestra and Piano start (See chords below)
