[A] I see a little silhouette of a man
Gadda moosh, gadda moosh, will you do the [Db] bandan gore
From [Ab] the moment [G] lightning, very, [E] very frightening [Em] me
[F] Galileo, Galileo, [E] Galileo Piccolo [Cm] Galileo Piccolo
[Db]
The flamboyant rockers had [Eb] been massive in the seventies
But many now thought they were [Ab] perfect
There [Eb] in this life comes [F] this one, [Bb] comes indeed
[Abm] Before Live Aid, [A] we were bored, I think
[Bb] [Gm] We'd had a fairly long career by [Eb] then
[Gm] And I think we were in a bit of a trough
Queen had played at Sun City in South Africa
During the apartheid [C] era
I think that anybody that has played there, I don't want to
Actually, I won't mention names, Rod Stewart and Queen and people like that have played there
They're jerks for doing it
They were more than aware of what [Gm] they were doing
And I think that they should [N] be called out for it
Subsequently to appear at Live Aid as the benefactors of Africa
Struck some people as being hypocritical
It's interesting that they were the most nervous backstage
They were the most
they'd been arguing, they'd fallen out
They thought Queen didn't matter
Anyway, to give us a nod, we're going to introduce the next combo
Who are Her Majesty, Queen's Ensemble
I do remember
I think we were quite tense
A bit tense, feeling like that
Just hoping it was all going to work
And the equipment wouldn't break [A] down
[Gm] [Bb]
So would Freddie and the boys kill it off?
[Gm]
[Bb] [F]
I feel alone
And what's your name?
[Gm] My own name Lucina Angel
[Bb] And [Gm]
[Bb] [F] radio
We never know
Queen stole the [Gm] show
Queen were Live Aid
Queen was [Bb] one of the seminal moments in the history of the 20th century
Forget Hitler, forget [Gm] the invention of the internet or whatever
[Bb] Queen's performance was [F] absolutely A-1
[Ab] It's
[Gm] Queen's Day I think
They [N] just stole the show
Best thing there Fantastic
[G] No chance
On [F] his way to berate the BBC, Geldof stopped in his tracks
[C] I was walking along the top
[Bb] And I looked out and there's [F] stars and I saw the Radio Gaga
Just thought, [G] this is [Bb] extraordinary
[Gb] [Eb] [N]
[F] This was [Gm] pop history in the making
[Eb] All we hear [F] is [Bb] [F] Radio Gaga [Bb] Radio [F] Gaga
[Eb] Every [Bb] single person [C] in that whole [Dm] place
is clapping along to Radio [C] Gaga and singing along
I thought, [F] fantastic, wish we had a song like that
Freddie's command of the crowd even stretched across the Atlantic
Looking out [Gm] onto the audience
90,000 Philadelphians, you know, [Bb] on cue
The television screen, I just thought that was powerful Really [Gm] powerful
Yeah, that brought [Bb] us together
That was the one [C] moment I thought, we don't have to be in [Dm] London
We're here and we're part of it
[C]
[Bb]
But
[Gm]
[F]
Freddie Mercury was only just getting started
I [N]
can't tell you what it feels like to be on a stage like that
In that situation we have no control
And you know, there's an infinite space underneath your feet if you fall
It would be appalling if you really screw up
And Freddie just thinks, oh, what the hell, you know, hey-o
[C] They [Dm]
[A]
[C]
[N]
wanted the [Gm] call and response
Freddie would [E] call, they would respond
[N] And they loved it, they wanted to do it
A fascinating kind of power
Yeah!
Yeah!
[C] [Em] Yeah!
I do remember coming away from that concert [Gm] thinking
I must go and buy a Queen album immediately
Like [N] the rest of the world
And I think Queen got a huge [Bb] resurgence of interest
Just as Queen were finishing their set
Geldof stormed into the BBC box
Still fuming about the [Gb] failure to raise [F] enough money
I was wound up by how great this was
Having seen these guys
It'd been magnificent
And suddenly [C] I'm there and it's [G] cosy
You know, [N] celeb,
Gadda moosh, gadda moosh, will you do the [Db] bandan gore
From [Ab] the moment [G] lightning, very, [E] very frightening [Em] me
[F] Galileo, Galileo, [E] Galileo Piccolo [Cm] Galileo Piccolo
[Db]
