Status Quo - Blessed Are The Meek tab

Blessed Are the Meek
Status Quo
Under The Influence 1999

Here’s a great one with clever melodies and a killer solo.
Do the lyrics remind you of a book?

Francis: Standard Tuning (Tabs)
Rick: Capo 6th position
(Chords; transcribed are the shapes he would play regardless 
of the use of the capo)

Here I have written down the shapes for Rick.  Use the
diagram below to find Francis'.

C=F#
F=B
G=C#
Am=D#m
Em=Bbm



The first two bars are Rick playing C (or F#)

|C| |C| |C| |F|

F             Em            G           C
You know the story about a woman and a man
F     Em            G
in a garden living free
F        Em             G           C
The only danger was a stranger by a tree
F        Em            G
selling apples by the score


C                F
Blessed are the meek
G               Am
Blessed are the true lovers
F              C
It's anybodys guess
                G                    C
really more or less where it's gonna go
               F   G                 Am
Better make a break before we get in big trouble
F                  C                    G
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
                   C  G
The way it's gotta be
