Queen - sleeping on the sidewalk - Brian May tribute

This is a tribute to Brian May, the best guitarist of the world.
The song "sleeping on the sidewalk " released 1977 at the "news of the world " album. It is not very popular, but anyway a geat track.

I was nothin' but a city boy
My trumpet was my only toy
I've been blowin' my horn
Since I knew I was born
But there ain't nobody wants to know

I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't want to go home

So round the corner comes a limousine
And the biggest grin I ever seen
Here sonny won't you sign
Right along the dotted line
What you sayin' are you playin'
Sure you don't mean me?

I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't want to go home

(Now I tell you what happened...)

They took me to a room without a table
They said 'blow your trumpet into here'
I played around as well as I was able
And soon we had the record of the year

I was a legend all through the land
I was blowin' to a million fans
Nothin' was a missin'
All the people want to listen
You'd have thought I was a happy man

And I was sleepin' like a princess
Never touch the road
I don't get hungry
And I sure don't want to go home
(Have to have some fun...)

Now they tell me that I ain't so fashionable
An' I owe the man a million bucks a year
So I told 'em where to stick the fancy label
It's just me and the road from here

I'm back to playin' and layin'
I'm back on the game

I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I sure get hungry and
I sure do wanna go home
(Yeah)

Everyone's gonna remember Queen for Freddie, of course, but when he stepped away from the microphone, they made some damn good songs. Like this one and I'm In Love With My Car.

Love this song! In that opening riff, Brian May reels off about eighteen notes in roughly three and a half seconds. Great guitar players make that look easy. I couldn't do that if my life depended on it!
