Durante las últimas cuatro décadas, Status Quo ha construido y difundido una singular forma de hacer rock and roll sin dejar que el tiempo ni el mercado les arrebate su esencia. Los avatares de las modas, que hacen que súbitamente aparezcan y desaparezcan canciones, grupos e incluso estilos musicales (o al menos etiquetas de la industria para éstos) no han conseguido que Status Quo haya modificado ni un ápice su discurso, su estilo ni su espíritu.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

(fast strumming the C then stop to go into NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO)
NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO:
(no chord) G Riding along in my automobile (no chord) G My baby beside me at the wheel (no chord) C I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile (no chord) G My curiositys running wild (no chord) D Cruisin and playin the radio (no chord) G (no stopping this time) With no particular place to go
Riding along with my collar loose
Still trying to get her belt a-loose C All the way home I held a grudge G But the safety belt it wouldnt budge D Cruisin and playin the radio (no chord) G E - ("WANDERER" opening) With no particular place to go
THE WANDERER:
E Well Im the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well you know that Im around A I kiss em and I love em cos to me their all the same E I hug em and I squeeze them, they dont even know my name B E They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer E I roam around and round and round and round and round B E They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer E A I roam around and round and round and round and round
I HEAR YOU KNOCKIN':
D You went away and left me long time ago
And now youre knocking on my door G D I hear you knocking but you cant come in G A I hear you knocking go back where you been
D I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now youre tellin all your lies G D I hear you knocking but you cant come in G E A I hear you knocking go back where you been

G Lucille you dont do your daddys will C G Lucille you dont do your daddys will D C G Aint nothing to you but I love you still
G(stop) G(stop) I woke up this morning, lucille was not in sight G(stop) Asked my friends about her, all their lips were tight C G Lucille you dont do your daddys will D C Aint nothing to you but I love you still
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE:
G You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain C Too much love drives a man insane D C You broke my will, oh what a thrill G(stop) Goodness gracious, great balls of fire
C G Kiss me baby, it feels good C D(stop) Hold me baby, well I wanna love you like a lover should B C C# D(stop) B C C# D(stop) Youre fine so kind D I gotta tell this world that youre mine, mine, mine, mine
G I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs C I feel embarrassed but it sure is fun D C Come on baby, you drive me crazy G(stop) C Goodness gracious great balls of fire.
