Status Quo, The Wanderer (1984)
Key: :[B] (w: Ernie Maresca) (o: Dion, 1961)
VERSE 1:
[B] I'm the type of guy, who never settles down
Where
[B] pretty girls are, you'll know that I'm around
I
[E] kiss 'em and I love 'em, 'cause to me they're all the same
I
[B] hug 'em and I squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name
CHORUS: [* = first time only]
They call me the
[F#] Wanderer, yeah, the
[E] Wanderer
I roam a-
[B]-round and round and round and round
[F#*]
VERSE 2:
Well there's
[B] Flo on my left, and there's Mary on my right
And
[B] Janie is the girl, that I'll be with tonight
And
[E] when she asks me, which one I love the best
I
[B] tear open my shirt and show Rosie on my chest
REPEAT CHORUS:
BRIDGE:
Well, I
[F#] roam from town to town
^
[E] ^
[B] I go through
[F#] life without a care
^
[E] ^
[B] And I'm as
[F#] happy as a clown
I wave my
[G# open] two fists of iron, but I'm goin' nowhere ^
[C#] ^
[F#]
VERSE 3:
Oh yeah,
[B] I'm the type of guy, that likes to roam around
I'm
[B] never in one place; I roam from town to town
And
[E] when I find myself, a-fallin' for some girl
I
[B] hop right into that car of mine, and drive around the world
