Traffic Jam

D     D

[Verse 1]
         D                   
From the eighteenth century's 
 Bm
cobblestone streets
  Em                         A
With the horse and the carraiges to 
rest our feet
       F#m            Bm
To the train and city tram
         Em                  A
Came the birth of mechanical man


[Verse 2]
         D                       
And with mechanical man came the 
Bm
automobile
      Em                      
Henry Ford's Model 'T' with an 
 A
engine on wheels
      F#m           Bm
And a crazy race began
       F#m           A
With a car for every man


[Bridge]
   Em                 A
A limousine, hot rod, Beetle and a 
van
   Em                A
Or maybe just an old sedan


[Chorus]
      A7            D       
We're heading for a great big 
                    A
worldwide traffic jam
          A
With only red lights, green lights, 
yellow lights
          D
To be our guiding hand
                    D        
We're heading for a great big

             A
With all the hoots and the toots
        A7
And the traffic brutes
            D
To fill our loving land

[Interlude]
         Am
I wonder who's gonna win this great 
big race
G                     Em         
Mechanical man or the natural 
    A
pace?


[Verse 3]
         D                  Bm
From the back seat Romeo in lover's 
lane
        Em             A
To the family car on a highway in 
Spain
          F#m           Bm
There's a car for every need
         F#m                   A
With the shape, the colour and speed


[Verse 4]
         D                  
It's the twentieth century's 
 Bm
technical toy
        Em
Full of buttons and dials
        A
Full of comfort and joy
        F#m            Bm
But the number's going up
         F#m              A
I wonder where it's gonna stop


[Bridge]
    Em                  A
The limousine, hot rod, Beetle and 
the van
     Em                  A
It's gonna go way out of hand


[Chorus]
      A7            D       
We're heading for a great big 
                     A
worldwide traffic jam
          A
With only red lights, green lights, 
yellow lights
          D
To be our guiding hand
                    D        
We're heading for a great big 
                    A
worldwide traffic jam
             A
With all the hoots and the toots
        A7
And the traffic brutes
            D
To fill our loving land


[Interlude]
         Am
I wonder who's gonna win this great 
big race
G                     Em
Mechanical man or the natural pace
        G
For the world's getting smaller
        G                          
And the time's getting shorter 
  A
every day
