Blues and Rhythm
Status Quo
Heavy Traffic 2002

There's slight changes everywhere so keep a look (or a listen) out!
I don't like calling them 5ths but its the quickest way to write 
a root and fifth harmonic interval.  Haha.

don't anybody listen anymore
I can still hear them banging
on my bedroom door
is it too late to tell them?
will they understand?
calm down, come on round
and listen to the band
