🎸 Full chord sheet + tabs for The Hitman by Queen — exactly as shown in this exclusive artwork!
🎶 About The Hitman
• Written by: Freddie Mercury (with contributions from the whole band)
• Album: Innuendo (1991) — Queen’s 14th studio album, their final record released while Freddie was alive
• Style: Hard rock / heavy blues — raw, aggressive, and full of attitude, one of Queen’s heaviest tracks
• Key facts:
• Originally written as a gritty, story-driven rocker — lyrics tell a dark, playful tale of a mysterious “hitman” figure
• Features Brian May’s iconic heavy guitar tone, layered riffs, and that classic Queen vocal power
• Recorded between 1989–1990 at Mountain Studios, Switzerland — during a period when the band was experimenting with harder, more intense sounds
• Often overlooked but a fan favourite: it’s packed with catchy riffs, big chords, and that signature Queen energy
• The artwork here is a custom tribute, styled like an old grimoire/lyric sheet — perfect for learning and displaying!
📄 What’s inside this sheet
✅ Complete chord progression (all sections: verse, chorus, bridge, solo parts)
✅ Exact chord voicings + rhythm markings
✅ Simplified & full tab versions
✅ Lyrics aligned with chords
✅ All key changes & signature Queen progressions (including that famous F#5 / C / D/E run!)
🎸 How to play
• Tuning: Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E)

• Key sections:
◦ Opening riff: punchy power chords (F#5 → C)
