About the Song
"It's Late" is a hard rock song written by Queen guitarist Brian May and performed by the band for their 1977 album News of the World. The song was May's idea of treating a song as a three-act theatrical play, and the verses are called "acts" in the lyrics sheet. It makes use of the tapping technique one year before Eddie Van Halen's use of the tapping technique on the Van Halen I album. May told Guitar Player Magazine [1] that his use of the tapping technique was inspired by an unnamed bar-band guitarist from Texas. The song is notable for its length and heavy, wide vocal range (E3-E6), bluesy guitar riff, using the previously mentioned technique. The song was released as a single in the US in 1978, albeit in heavily edited form, and peaked at #72 on the Billboard charts. The song was later included on the Queen Rocks compilation in 1997, and a new video was produced using footage of Las Vegas.    Download this sheet!
