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!

Capo VII
