THE QUEEN AND I

                  From the album AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN

Transcribed by Ben.jammin

This song just sounds cool so i  had to try to figure it out. I'm sure there are other 
to play it, but this way seemed pretty simple to me. I know its not all the way correct 
its a start. If you just listen to the song, i'm pretty sure you can figure the rhythms out.

Gtr II (E A D G B E)

About the artist behind Queen And I:

Gym Class Heroes are an American band from Geneva, New York. The group formed when Travis "Schleprok" McCoy met drummer Matt McGinley and decided to make a band. After the addition of guitarist Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo and bassist Eric Roberts, they were signed to Decaydance Records, on which they released the gold-selling album As Cruel As School Children. Since that release, the band has garnered much success, with the single "Cupid's Chokehold" reaching #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Clothes Off!!" peaking at #5 on the UK Singles Chart. Rather than using the conventional tools of hip hop production, Gym Class Heroes use live instrumentation, similar to artists such as Stetsasonic, The Roots, N.E.R.D., Flobots, and Crown City Rockers. They have collaborated with Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump on numerous occasions, notably for providing backing vocals on the song Cupid's Chokehold.
