Inspiration: "You're My Best Friend"



This Queen song is one of the few songs in existence that makes every cell in my body indescribably happy, but it has to be the original A Night at the Opera album mix (not the reissue bonus track remix).  According to some sources (okay, Wikipedia), bass player John Deacon wrote "You're My Best Friend" while teaching himself how to play the electric piano.

Anyhow, if you know how to play the Dm, C, G/B, Am, D, F, G, E, Fm, and slight variations of the aforementioned chords (7ths, maj7ths, 6ths, etc.), then you can play a reasonable cover rendition.  You can look up the specific chord progressions using Google, or you can purchase some sheet music.
