A eight grade classical guitar project bohemian rhapsody

So our son decided to do all the piano parts from bohemian rhapsody for his classical guitar project . He is a queen fan now after we saw the movie twice, So yesterday we sat down and figured it out on the fretboard chord for chord note for note We had a blast.

We even got so silly I was starting to joke and do it as slide guitar. Then I was joking ok if Hendrix played it no wait how about if the scorpions covered it.

Republican Rapture

Is this November?
Is this just fantasy?
We won a landslide,
Reid must deal with reality.

Open your eyes
Read the headlines and see
I’m just a rich boy, I seek no sympathy
Because I’m very sly, very deft,
Always right, never left,
How I make Barack wince doesn’t really matter, to me, to me.

Obama, just killed your plan,
You want health care, so you said,
But forget it, now it’s dead.
Obama, it was so much fun
To vote it down and throw it all away

Obama, oo-oo-oo-ooo
Yes I meant to make you cry
I sometimes wish the vote were held tomorrow
We’ll go on, we’ll go on, ‘cause we are now what matters

Too late, your time has gone
You had half of your first term,
Now that’s done, we’ll make you squirm
Goodbye old Tom Harkin, you’ve got to go
Soon Joni takes your place, and that’s the truth

Obama, oo-oo-oo-ooo
It was a nice try
But we’ll confirm no one you choose at all.

I am a Senator who soon will be the man
G O P, G O P, can you move a bit rightward?
Repealing laws like lightning
Very, very frightening me
(Hagan stay-o) Hagan stay-o
(Begich stay-o) Begich stay-o
No they will not, no no no
Now they will go…………..

I see my Senators assuming the majority
(He rules his Senators, he is from Kentucky)
Spare us two years of this monstrosity

Will it pass, yes or no, will you call a vote?
Joe Biden! No, we will not let you vote (let us vote!)
Joe Biden! We will not let you vote. (Let us vote!)
Joe Biden! We will not let you vote. (Let us vote!)
Will not let you vote. (Let us vote!)
Never, never let you vote
Never let me vote, oh?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Nino Scalia, oh Scalia (Oh, Scalia, let them vote.)
Rand Paul and Cruz put a Trojan Horse inside for me, for me, for meeeeee

So you think you’ll filibuster and keep me all night?
So you’ll do just like we did, and say it’s for spite?
Oh, Harry, can’t do that to me Harry
Look at my hand, I have the gavel right here.

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Except I lead the majority…………….
