Bohemian Rhapsody - The Petersens (LIVE)

"Bohemian Rhapsody" is without a doubt the hardest song we have ever learned!!! We promised our Patreon community that once we reached a certain goal we would release this video, but we had no idea the challenge that we would be undertaking. Hope you guys enjoy all the crazy parts of this song!

And as for the outro, I handed Julianne the banjo and that is what came out haha.

►LYRICS - Bohemian Rhapsody
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see

I'm just a poor boy (ooh poor boy)
I need no sympathy
(Because I'm easy come, easy go)
(Little high, little low)
(Ooh) Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me, to me

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, 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 it all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooh
(Any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, scaramouche
Will you do the fandango?
Thunderbolts and lightning
Very, very frightening me

Galileo (Galileo)
Galileo (Galileo)
Galileo Figaro
Magnifico-o-o

Oh, I'm just a poor boy
Nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah, no, we will not let you go (let him go)
Bismillah, we will not let you go (let him go)
Bismillah, we will not let you go (let him go)
Will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (let me go)

Never ever, ever let me go-o-o-o?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Mama mia, mama mia) mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?

Oh baby
Can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get right out of here

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows...
