# >From: kaljoe@vccsouth11.its.rpi.edu (Egils Kaljo) >Subject: [CRD] - The Great Pretender - F. Mercury version The Great Pretender (Buck Ram) as recorded by Freddie Mercury somewhat transcribed by Egils Kaljo (kaljoe@rpi.edu) I only put chords down because there are so many different versions of this song that anything besides chords would be basically useless... This is hardly perfect, and if someone could play through it and give a second opinion, it would be most appreciated. Intro: F F F F
