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 chord and I think a 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.
