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.

This is the way that I've worked these chords out. I'm not sure if it's 100%, but it's enough.
As we're in open tuning, the chords are played differently. Here's how each chord would played. Personally, I think it sounds better if you don't play the low D in chords, but purely preferance:
A The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run E S.T.'s showing, you really got me going maybe you can give me a price A Yeah, I wanna try it, yeah I wanna buy it, tell me would you treat me nice F# Oh my legs are shaking, oh my heart is breaking A I'm just feeling like a boy F# Now I just can't slow down, gotta get in, go down A Have my share of pride a joy
A Now I've got your name and number, I like the look upon your face
And now you know that I wanna take you, give me the time you can name the place E You can call me honey, you can take my money, baby we can make a deal A I really mean it, gotta get between it, do you know the way I feel? F#A Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a way to make you understand F# Oh I know you're lying and your love I'm buying A Oh I'm feeling like a man

The boys know what you're giving, you give the boys such a lot of fun And by the way that you make a living you've got the boys all on the run S.T.'s showing, really got them going, you can even say the price They'll wanna try it, even wanna buy it if you really treat them nice But I'd rather take you, show that I can make you Good enough for just one man Oh I'm feeling kinda like I've gotta find a Way to make you understand
