The initial section of the intro is really quick and is probably an ad-lib from Freddie  
all based around E, E7sus4 and E7 with runs down through the scall with a few trills in it. 
Then the main intro starts, continuing through the song. 
Eb   Bb/D  Cm

Album Ending : Song Fades out using the following Chords to the same style / melody of the piece. 
E   B/D   Bm/D   Cm7   A   Am   E/G   F#?   Fm   F#?   Fm7   F#?   A7   B7   E 
Concert Ending : Song uses the Album Ending chords and resolves on E - obviously with no fade. 
  
Performance Notes :  

^ means the chord is played on 1 octave higher on the register. 

Ad-Libbing on the song can be achieved by trilling on neighboring notes on the scale / chord. 

Listening to the Album / Concert version will allow you to place a more-true ad-lib. 

The song also contains many 7th and diminished notes. 

The timing in the song is a little unusual in that its very free and chords are often played  

in advance of the words - best bet is to listen to the piece on the album a few times to get 

the idea.
