Song: Pictures Of Matchstick Men

Artist: Status Quo


Album: Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from the Status Quo
Release Year: 1967

Two guitarists may be required to play this song. After all, Francis and Rick are
both
guitarists and have been together for over forty years.
This is why some of the bars are doubled; each represents a guitarists part; one of
them playing the chords (where the vertical digits are located), the other playing
the
melody (the 12-12-13-13, etc bit). I have joined them together using the | symbol
in-between the two. The double : symbol indicates the repeat.

Have fun!
