From "Sheer Heart Attack"
"Flick of the Wrist" is in the middle of a medley following "Tenement Funster"
and preceding "Lily of the Valley." The tempo changes between Cut Time (2/2)
in the verses and Common Time (4/4) in the choruses.
The measures below are for counting a slow 4 (76 bpm) in verses and a rapid 4
(152 bpm) in choruses. In reality, it's all 152 bpm, but I find it easier to
switch back and forth if I count it all in 4/4.
(Bridge out of "Tenement Funster")
(Tempo = 76 bpm)
