Pictures of Matchstick Men
Status Quo
Tabbed by: Paul Halvorson
This is one of the coolest songs ever written. If anybody else knows how
especially want to know how to play the wah part during the verses. All this tab
is is the intro. I was screwing around, trying to to come up with what they
play during the verse, and I know there's a 
D MajorD chord and I think a 
G+G chord in
there, if that helps anybody. They play this in other parts of the song, too
though. Where it says "Wah", use the wah pedal to get a more trebly sound.
