Guitar1 is the main vocal line, as sung by Freddie Mercury

Guitar 4is a transcription of the bass line. It is an interesting andrhythmically-exciting part. Chord symbols are given in this part allowingchords to be added should the ensemble want these.

Guitar4 can also be played by a bass guitar. The part is also given in bass clef(sounding an octave lower).

With this piano sheet music, you can play ?Love Of My Life? on piano, accompany a singer, or sing along yourself.

Frankly, I was not able to find an arrangement of this fantastic song that sounded the way I wanted it to, so I created one that I believe does justice to this great ballad and the legacy of Freddie Mercury.:)

?Love Of My Life? was, of course, written by Freddie Mercury for Mary Austin, his former fianc�e and life-long friend.

It was included on Queen?s 1975 album ?A Night at the Opera?, which included some of their most successful hits (such as ?Bohemian Rhapsody? and ?You?re My Best Friend?).

The song also appeared in the 2018 film ?Bohemian Rhapsody? (in which Freddie Mercury is played by Rami Malek).

In any case, ?Love Of My Life? is one of the most beautiful ballads in the history of pop & rock music, and a fantastic song to play on piano. Enjoy!

Here are the song's full lyrics:

"Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart
And now you leave me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me

Love of my life, don't leave me
You've taken my love
You now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me

You will remember
When this is blown over
And everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side
To remind you
How I still love you
I still love you

Back, hurry back
Please, bring it back home to me
Because you don't know
What it means to me

Love of my life
Love of my life"
