Queen - Great King Rat: chords

Am
Great king rat died today
G
Born on the twenty first of may
 E                                    Am
Died syphilis forty four on his birthday
Am
Every second word he swore
G
Yes he was the son of a whore
E                     Am
Always wanted by the law

Chorus:
C
Wouldn't you like to know?
Em                          C
Wouldn't you like to know, people?
  D
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
      C         G
Now what did I tell you
Am                 D
Would you like to see?

Now hear this
Where will I be tomorrow?
Will I beg? Will I borrow?
I don't care, I don't care anyway
Come on, come on, the time is right
The man is evil and that is right
I told you (Ah, yes, I told you)
And that's no lie (Oh, no, no)

Chorus:
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you?
Would you like to see?
Show me

Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know, people? (People)
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
Now what did I tell you?
Would you like to see?
(Hit it!)

D                   G
Now listen all you people
D                              G
Put out the good and keep the bad
D                      G           A    D
Don't believe all you read in the bible
A                   D
You sinners get in line
A                       D
Saints you leave far behind
A                          A      D
Very soon you're gonna be his disciple

Don't listen to what Mama says
Not a word, not a word Mama says
Or else you'll find yourself being the rival
The great Lord before he died
Knelt sinners by his side and said
A                                   G
And said you're going to realize tomorrow

No, I'm not gonna tell you
What you already know
'Cause time and time again
The old man said it all a long time ago
Come, come on, the time is right
This evil man will fight
I told you once before

Chorus:
Wouldn't you like to know?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Just like I said before
Great King Rat was a dirty old man
And a dirty old man was he
The last time I tell you
Would you like to see?
