Blessed Are The Meek Tab by Status Quo


Blessed Are the Meek
Status Quo
Under The Influence 1999

Took me ages to get hold of this CD and I love it!  It came today and I just had to tab something.
Here’s a great one with clever melodies and a killer solo.

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

Do the lyrics remind you of a book?


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

INTRO/MAIN RIFF
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


Another story about a woman and man
the only difference is the time
He had a lover, she knew his long hair was his strength
so he lost it all for love

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

G                    Am
Gotta do something seriously
F  C  G
Oh oh oh
G                    Am
Can't ignore it any longer
F  C  G
Oh no no
F  C  G
Oh no no

SOLO

Another story about a woman and a man
Who can say it's right or wrong?
He was the new king in the making, but he said
gonna give it up for love

Blessed are the meek
Blessed are the true lovers
It's anybodys guess, really more or less
where it's gonna go

Better make a break before we get in big trouble
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
The way it's gotta be

Blessed are the meek
Blessed are the true lovers
It's anybodys guess, really more or less
where it's gonna go

Let me know what you think.  Cheers.
