Song title:      The Miracle
Original Album:	 The Miracle

Words and Music by Freddie Mercury and John Deacon

NOTES:
Pizzicato is a playing technique that involves plucking the strings of a 
stringed instrument. The exact technique varies depending on the instrument.

For bowed stringed instruments, you pluck the strings with the fingers rather
than using the bow. This produces a short percussive sound rather than a
sustained one.


INTRO:
Notes:
Pizzicato (chords are plucked) strings transcribed for acoustic guitar.
