Let Your Heart Rule Your Head

Words and music by Brian May


From Matthew J. Karweick (karweimj@uwec.edu) 
I was playing around today and I accidentally stumbled across the chords for 
Brian May's "Let Your Heart Rule Your Head". It's not perfect, but here goes: 
Brian is using a capo on the third fret. The verse goes from a G chord to a D 
and quickly goes to a C. The Chorus alternates G and C with a D when the word 
"tonight" is sung. The bridge is a little tricky, but it probably modulates to a 
minor key. I gotta work on it a little bit more. 
So there it is. Hope you enjoy it! 


Vince Franco adds the following: 
"I was playing around with the chords you listed for the song. The song is capo 
2, not capo 3. Alternatively, it can be played open without a capo. The G 
becomes A, the C becomes D, and the D becomes E. It sounds pretty good but I 
think the capo 2 chords sound a little better. In the open chords, a D9 can be 
substituted for the D to let the open E string ring out. Give it a try."
