A D A E D A
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
    A                E         D                     A  E
You might believe in heaven, I would not care to say
    A                 E             D                 A
For every star in heaven, there's a sad soul here today
     D                        Bm
Wake up in the morning with a good face
E                     A
stare at the moon all day
D                        Bm
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase
     E                E7sus4
does anyone care anyway?
    A                    E
For all the prayers in heaven
   D                   F    A  E  D  E7sus4   A
so much of life's this way
 
[Chorus]
 
     A
     Did we leave our way behind us?
     A
     Such a long, long way behind us?
     D
     Who knows when, now who knows where?
     A
     Where the light of day might find us?
     D7               A
     Look for the day.
 
[Verse 2]
 
A                         E                    D                     A  E
Take heart, my friend, we love you, though it seems like you're alone
  A                  E             D                A
A million lights above you, smile down upon your home
D                            Bm        E                     A
Hurry put your troubles in a suitcase, Come let the new child play
D                        Bm           E                           E7sus4
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase, I'm leaving here, I'm long away
   A                   E       D                 F                    A
For all the stars in heaven, I would not live, I could not live, this way
 
[Chorus]
 
     A
     Did we leave our way behind us?
     A
     Such a long, long way behind us?
     D
     Leave it for some hopeless lane
     A
     Such a long, long way
     A
     Such a long, long way
                           A7
     Such a long, long way
     A   D            F                      A
     I'm looking for, still looking for that day

It's not A it's not Ab, it is something in between, almost right in the middle, just a little closer towards A. And it is definitely played using A shapes. So in order to play along to the Queen recording, one has to tune down a little, one semitone would be too much.

Pretty good but play A, A/D, A, then E for the first four beats of lines 1,2 and 5 of the verses instead of just A to E

it sounds good on its own...but there's something not quite right about when it's played with the song....probably something with the tuning...
