Status Quo - Invitation: chords

         E                  B
I got an invitation from a girl
                     E   E7
I used to know back home
          A                 C#m        F#  B
It was an invitation asking me to telephone
                E              E7
She said, it's getting lonely here
               A                Am
And I've been gone for close a year

            E                            B
I took the first flight out to meet the girl
                     E
I used to know back home

She met me off the flight,
a million dollars in her long red gown
With a man in a black hat just
to drive us back to town
Now the faces all look the same
And all the places have the same old names

          E                                 B
But in a year you've changed just like the girl
                     A
I used to know back home
           E                                 B
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl
                     E
I used to know back home

Chorus:
A            B            E
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
A            B               C#m
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
            A                      B
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
           E                                 B
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl
                     E
I used to know back home

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

Chorus:
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

      E       C#m           B    E
Back home, I left the girl back home
C#m              B    E
I left the girl back home
C#m              B    E
I left the girl back home
C#m              B    E
I left the girl back home
C#m              B    E
I left the girl back home
