                                  Status Quo

  

                            Tabbed by: Paul Halvorson

  

      This is one of the coolest songs ever written. If anybody else knows how

  to play any of ther rest of it, please tab it and upload it to OLGA. I

  especially want to know how to play the wah part during the verses. All this tab

  is is the intro. I was screwing around, trying to to come up with what they

  play during the verse, and I know there's a D chord and I think a G chord in

  there, if that helps anybody. They play this in other parts of the song, too

  though. Where it says "Wah", use the wah pedal to get a more trebly sound.
