Bohemian Rhapsody (Live)

Note: Recorded live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, England, on December 24th, 1975, "Bohemian Rhapsody" opens the show's first "medley" with Bohemian Rhapsody's first sections only, culminating to a portion of its guitar solo ending at 2 min 14 sec (2:14); segueing to "Killer Queen" (2:08); segueing to "The March of the Black Queen" (1:30); closing the medley with "Bohemian Rhapsody-reprise", the song's outro (1:02). (The official live album separates each of the four medley portions as four consecutive tracks.)

(Freddie Mercury, live, spoken: "Now then, we're gonna do a nice tasty little medley for you, just like the one we did the other day, yes, and we're going to start off with a little segment from a number called 'Bohemian Rhapsody' ...")

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mama, oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I don't want to die
Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all, oh ...

(medley section ends with a portion of the guitar solo, segueing next to 'Killer Queen'. See introductory note above, before the lyric's transcription.)
