Invitation Status Quo
On: 17/12/2010
Simple, country flavoured song from The Quo. From the album In The Army Now.
I got an [E]invitation from a [B]girl I used to know back [E]home[E7]
It was an [A]invitation asking [C#m]me to tele[F#]phone[B]
She said, it's [E]getting lonely [E7]here
And I've been [A]gone for close a [Am]year
I took the [E]first flight out to meet the [B]girl I used to know back [E]home
C#m, B E
[C#m]
She [B]met me [E]off the flight, a million [B]dollars in her long red [E]gown[E7]
With a [A]man in a black hat just to [C#m]drive us back to [F#]town[B]
Now the [E]faces all look the [E7]same
And all the [A]places have the same old [Am]names
But in a [E]year you've changed just like the [B]girl I used to know back [A]home
Yes, in a [E]year you've changed just like the [B]girl I used to know back [E]home
[A] Maybe it's [B]true that I go [E]on and on and on
[A] Maybe it's [B]true that I'm the [C#m]lonely one alone
What can I [A]say to you, what can I [B]say to you?
Yes, in a [E]year you've changed just like the [B]girl I used to know back [E]home
C#m, B E
C#m, B E
C#m, B E
C#m, B A B
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
Back [E]home, I [C#m]left the girl [B]back [E]home
[C#m] I left the girl [B]back [E]home
[C#m] I left the girl [B]back [E]home
[C#m] I left the girl [B]back [E]home
[C#m] I left the girl [B]back [E]home
