Status Quo by Darren Criss
Status Quo � Darren Criss
As played in the livestream (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJGNGeJA8Lo). Darren plays
it with a capo on VII, but if you are a woman it�s pretty low to sing so I suggest you
play it without capo ;) I did this by ear, so feel free to correct me if I made any
mistakes. I�ve tabbed out the beginning of it, the rest is just chords. It shouldn�t be too hard
to figure out the rhythm by listening to the video. Hope you have fun with this!
