Status Quo Once Bitten Twice Shy Lyrics

Intro:

. (. = short)
Verse:
(* The last notes of the previous bar are still ringing here on
the first half of the first beat. So don't strike the C5-chord
here. In following verses you do strike the C5-chord here).
The Bb- and the Eb-chords are quite a stretch in first position. I've
choosen for this as the low F can only be reached in the first
position. You can also play these chords in the sixth position but
then the distance to the low F is very large.
This would be the alternative:
Chorus:
Play these four bars three times but replace the two last bars the
third time by:
Rhythm guitar 2
Use all downstrokes
Intro:
Grab the both notes on the tenth position by making a little bar with
your ringfinger.
Verse:
*make a bar with your indexfinger for the 10th position
and a bar with your ringfinger for the 12th position
Chorus:
dudu
. d u d d u
Solo:
The backing for the solo is the same as the first eight bars of
the chorus.
Before you start with the solo you'll have to learn an old country-lick
which is used in rock many times (if you don't know it already).
Play the following triad:
7th pos.
In order to place E|--8--| Play the bend with E|-8---|
this into the B|--8--| your ringfinger B|-8---|
chord you'll G|-----| (supported by the G|-7b9-|
have to place D|-----| middle finger and/or D|-----|
a small bar A|-----| the index finger if A|-----|
with your pinky E|-----| necessary) E|-----|
on the 8th pos.
The full lick Francis plays:
Here's the solo
. *keep your lefthandfingers in position while
placing the ringfinger on the 7th fret of
the D-string
