This version of Made In Heaven comes from the Freddie Mercury - The Solo Collection 2000 CD by Peter Mew and was released on October 23rd, 2000 in the UK.
An early demo of the track recorded May 31, 1984. There are some notable vocal parts that aren't finished or fully fleshed out yet and some interesting lyric differences. Even though this version is early and not complete, it is still quite good and you can see the direction it is headed.

Lyrics:
I'm taking my ride with destiny
Willing to play my part
Loving with painful memories
Loving with all my heart
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's for all to see, yeah
Made in heaven, made in heaven
That's what the people say to me, that's what they say
That's what everybody says to me
Say, can't you see
I know, da, da, da, da, na, na, na, nah
That's what everybody says to me
In my heart
Taking my ride along with me
Na, na, na, na, na, nah
Living with painful memories
Na, na, na, na, na, nah
Made in heaven, made in heaven, oh
That's for all to see, yeah
Made in heaven
I can tell you, I can tell you, ba, ba, da, ba
Everybody, everybody says
Yeah, yeah
When stormy weather comes around
It was made in heaven
When sunny skies break through behind the clouds
Made in heaven
I'm playing my role in history
Looking to find my goal
Taking in all this misery
But giving it all my soul
Made in heaven, made in heaven
It was all meant to be, yeah
Yes it's so plain to see
Yes it was meant to be
