Mystery Song by Status Quo
Mystery Song
Tuning: DGDGBD
As we're in open tuning, the chords are played differently. Here's how each chord would
played. Personally, I think it sounds better if you don't play the low D in chords, but
purely preferance:
A E D C#m G F#
d|-2-|-7-|-5-|-4-|-0-|-9-|
B|-2-|-7-|-5-|-3-|-0-|-9-|
G|-2-|-7-|-5-|-4-|-0-|-9-|
D|-2-|-7-|-5-|-4-|-0-|-9-|
G|-2-|-7-|-5-|---|-0-|-9-|
D|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Here's the song:
Intro: | E D A | E D A |
C#m G | D C#m A G | x3
| A | Repeatedly
A
The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run
E
S.T.'s showing, you really got me going maybe you can give me a price
A
Yeah, I wanna try it, yeah I wanna buy it, tell me would you treat me nice
F#
Oh my legs are shaking, oh my heart is breaking
A
I'm just feeling like a boy
F#
Now I just can't slow down, gotta get in, go down
A
Have my share of pride a joy
A
Now I've got your name and number, I like the look upon your face
And now you know that I wanna take you, give me the time you can name
the place
E
You can call me honey, you can take my money, baby we can make a deal
A
I really mean it, gotta get between it, do you know the way I feel?
F# A
Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a way to make you understand
F#
Oh I know you're lying and your love I'm buying
A
Oh I'm feeling like a man
[solo]
The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run
S.T.'s showing, really got them going, you can even say the price
They'll wanna try it, even wanna buy it if you really treat them nice
But I'd rather take you, show that I can make you
Good enough for just one man
Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a
Way to make you understand
