Status Quo are a British rock band (London, England) with strong boogie line. The group was founded by bassist Alan Lancaster and guitarist Francis Rossi in 1962.
They began as a rock and roll freakbeat band called The Spectres. By 1967, with very little commercial success, they discovered psychedelia and changed their name to Traffic (later Traffic Jam, to avoid confusion with Steve Winwood's Traffic.) At this time the line-up also included organist Roy Lynes and drummer John Coghlan.

The chords are fairly simple to this one. And there's more than three!
A It didn't take you long, to find someone new
You moved right along, I can't believe it's true B And worst of all, it's my best friend, CG Aint that really rubbin' it in
DA Kick me when i'm down, why don't you DA Kick me when i'm down, why don't you DA First you put me down, then you make clown out of me E It's all over town, how could you A Kick me when i'm down, I tell you CGDA They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me
You say we'd grown apart, and that your love had died But you made a new start, babe, before my tears had dried I called my buddy, 'cos I was alone, That's when you answered the phone Kick me when i'm down, why don't you Kick me when i'm down, why don't you First you put me down, then you make clown out of me It's all over town, how could you Kick me when i'm down, I tell you They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me
Well i'm no stranger to pain, I got it down to a tee From the school of hard knocks, I got my honorary phd I didn't ask for this, I didn't treat you bad A fool for your kiss, I gave you everything that I had But you were wearing my old pal's ring, While I was still wearing black Kick me when i'm down, why don't you Kick me when i'm down, why don't you First you put me down, then you make clown out of me It's all over town, how could you Kick me when i'm down, I tell you They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me
Kick me when i'm down, why don't you, Kick me when i'm down, kick me when i'm down, Why don't you splatter my brains all over town Kick me when i'm down
