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.

I saw this picture in a magazine

with it's gold plated grovers

such a clean machine

so I, I did my home work

and I worked like hell

as the brown eyed handsome man said

you never can tell

I got that blues and rhythm

good enough to eat

sound and vision

hit me with the backbeat


      
blues and rhythm
          
good enough to eat
      
sound and vision

hit me with the backbeat
      
blues and rhythm
             
something for my soul
  
my dec-ision
                      
give me rock and give me roll



I started gigging in my early teens

sewed the red leather patches

on my filthy jeans

got my first Fender Tele

got my Marshall stack

big head knock 'em dead

I know where it's at


                 
I got that blues and rhythm
          
good enough to eat
      
sound and vision

hit me with the backbeat
      
blues and rhythm
             
something for my soul
  
my dec-ision

give me rock and give me roll

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


                  
We got that blues and rhythm
          
good enough to eat
      
sound and vision

hit me with the backbeat
      
blues and rhythm
             
something for my soul
  
my dec-ision

give me rock and give me roll


      
Jailhouse rocker
              
make you tap your feet
    
classic shocker
                
listen to the backbeat


I got that blues and rhythm
I got that blues and rhythm
I got that blues and rhythm
we got that blues and rhythm
