Okay, you guitar-mongering bloodhounds. Here are my versions of what Joshua Homme is playing on that battered six-stringer of his. By that I mean that I play the guitar like a trained chimp. Trained in cookery that is. I tune my lowest note string (the thick one) a tone (or two frets) lower than it should be. That way, you can play a chord on the bottom three strings with only one finger, thus making life just that little bit more bearable. The tunes are in alphabetical order.
So, to play like a Queen, tune your guitar as follows, unless it says otherwise:
--------------F--------------
--------------C--------------
--------------G--------------
--------------C--------------
P.S. These tabs don't appear to require the top two strings. I'm saving you money.

Here we go:
C---------7-------
G-7---7----------- x8
C---7---7---7-7-7-
Then it shifts into:
C-------------7-----------------------8----------------------10--------

C----7-----7-----7--7--7-----8-----8-----8--8--8-----10----10--10-10-10
C-------------10--------- ----------
G-10----10--------------- x1 but 2nd time last 3 notes are: -10-9--8--
C----10----10---10-10-10- -10-9--8--

G-10-10-10-10-10-10-9--8- back into the verse.
C-10-10-10-10-10-10-9--8-
End with the opener riff. This looks like a lot, but I simply don't know shorthand for 'play same chord eight times'.

The quiet bit goes vaguely like this:
F-4-----4--4----7--7--7------
C-5-----5--5----8--8--8------
G-5-----5--5--7-8--8--8----7- x4
C-5-----5--5--7-8--8--8----7-
Then it GETS VERY LOUD:
C-5-----5-----5-----5-----8--12-8--12-8--12-8--12- There must be an
G-------------------------8--12-8--12-8--12-8--12- easier way to
C----5-----5-----5-----5--8--12-8--12-8--12-8--12- play this.
Then the tune changes and gets increasingly faster:
F-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-
C-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-
G-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-
C-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-
F-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-
C-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6-
G-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6-
C-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-6-6-6-6-
Then the tune changes again, and settles down a bit:
F--------------------4-
C----------3----45----
G------34------------- until the end.
C-5-------------------

The preamble before the rocking begins:
F-----------9--------------8-
C-------10-------------9----
G----10-------------9------- etc.
C-10-------------9----------
The rocking begins:
F-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-
C-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9--9--9--9--9--9--9-
G-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9--9--9--9--9--9--9- etc.
C-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9--9--9--9--9--9--9-
until you get to about 1.45 on the old time display, when you play:
G-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-
C-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8- x2
Then you have a ridiculous solo, but you can play the main riff under it, until the end:
C-9--9--9--9------------------------11----------------------10-------------
G-9--9--9--7------9--9--9--11-11-11-9-----11-11--11-10-10-10-8-----10-10-10-
C-9--9--9---------9--9--9--11-11-11-------11-11-11-10-10-10-------10-10-10-
C----------10-------------
G-10-10-10-8-----10-10-10-

Give The Mule What He Wants
|
|
|
|
|

The opening bassline is pretty good. Anyway, when that's over you could play the solo bit, or this:
C-0---12--11-12-11-9---11-11-11-11-9--11-9--
G-0---12--11-12-11-9---9--9--9--9--9--9--9--
C-0---12--11-12-11-9---9--9--9--9--9--9--9--
Then the main riff:
G-0----0-9---9---9-0---0-9---9---9-0--799---9----0-
C-0----0-9---9---9-0---0-9---9---9-0----9---9--790- etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I can write down the main chord-y bit, but I can't be bothered to work out the unlistenable solo parts.
To begin:
C-------------101010101010------------101010101010-
G-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-8-8-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-8-8--
C-9-9-9-9-9-9-------------9-9-9-9-9-9--------------
Main riff:
F-----9---7-------9---7----------------------9---7-------9---7-------9---7-
C-----7---5-------7---5---------101010-------7---5-------7---5-------7---5-
G-5-----------5-----------9-9-9-8-8-8----5-----------5-----------5---------
C-5-----------5-----------9-9-9----------5-----------5-----------5---------
C-------------101010101010-
G-9-9-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-8-8--
C-9-9-9-9-9-9--------------
And then it gets well messy.

There is no goddamned guitar in this. But the piano line goes:

Then the guitar joins in:

G-0-0-5-0-4-0-0-5-0-4-0-0-0-------------
C-0-0---0---0-0---0---0-0-0-------------

C--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--
then opening riff x8 before suddenly kicking into the cool bit:
C-7--------------8--8----------------------------
G-5--5--5--7--7--6--6--8--8--10-10-10-10-10-10-10
C-0--5--5--7--7--------8--8--10-10-10-10-10-10-10
Do these however many times you need to, until you get to the chorus bit:
C--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---------7--- -10-7- on the

God knows how you play the mental bits in this ditty. But the basic idea is:
F--------------5-----------
C----------7-----7--------
G-------6-----------6----- repeated how much you like.
C-0--7-----------------7--
Then just make it up as you go along. Jazz.

C-12----9--------------0- C-5-55-5-55-5-554-44-4-44-4
Then there's the extended 'Whooaahhh' bit:
C-5-55-5-55-5-554-44-4-44-4-443-33-3-33-3-332-22-2-22-2-221-10-1-0-1-0-

You get the idea. Then you go into the Opening riff for 2.5 minutes. Nice.

Sorry. Although this is probably the best song the band have ever done, I just don't know how to play the complex bits. Can someone help?

I think it's better if you had conventional tuning on this spooky number.
