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.

EBEE7 I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home AC#mF#B It was an invitation asking me to telephone EE7 She said, it's getting lonely here AAm And I've been gone for close a year EBE I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home
C#m, BE C#m
BEBEE7 She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown AC#mF#B With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town EE7 Now the faces all look the same AAm And all the places have the same old names EBA But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home EBE Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
ABE Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on ABC#m Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone AB What can I say to you, what can I say to you? EBE Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
C#m, BE C#m, BE C#m, BE C#m, BAB
It took another year before I started getting itchy toes And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes Well I reckon if she'd made me stay I'd never live to see another day I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone What can I say to you, what can I say to you? I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home EC#mBE Back home, I left the girl back home C#mBE I left the girl back home C#mBE I left the girl back home C#mBE I left the girl back home C#mBE I left the girl back home
