Intro:
D MajorD   D MajorD

Verse 1:
     D MajorD          B minorBm
From the eighteenth century's cobblestone streets
 E minorEm             A augmentedA
With the horse and the carraiges to rest our feet
    F# minorF#m      B minorBm
To the train and city tram
     E minorEm         A augmentedA
Came the birth of mechanical man

Verse 2:
     D MajorD            B minorBm
And with mechanical man came the automobile
   E minorEm            A augmentedA
Henry Ford's Model 'T' with an engine on wheels
   F# minorF#m      B minorBm
And a crazy race began
    F# minorF#m      A augmentedA
With a car for every man


Bridge:
  E minorEm         A augmentedA
A majorA limousine, hot rod, Beetle and a van
  E minorEm        A augmentedA
Or maybe just an old sedan


Chorus:
   A7A7      D MajorD              A augmentedA
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
     A augmentedA
With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights
     D MajorD
To be our guiding hand
          D MajorD              A augmentedA
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
       A augmentedA
With all the hoots and the toots
    A7A7
And the traffic brutes
      D MajorD
To fill our loving land

Interlude:
     A minorAm
I wonder who's gonna win this great big race
G+G           E minorEm       A augmentedA
Mechanical man or the natural pace?

Verse 3:
     D MajorD         B minorBm
From the back seat Romeo in lover's lane
    E minorEm       A augmentedA
To the family car on a highway in Spain
     F# minorF#m      B minorBm
There's a car for every need
     F# minorF#m          A augmentedA
With the shape, the colour and speed


Verse 4:
     D MajorD          B minorBm
It's the twentieth century's technical toy
    E minorEm
Full of buttons and dials
    A augmentedA
Full of comfort and joy
    F# minorF#m      B minorBm
But the number's going up
     F# minorF#m       A augmentedA
I wonder where it's gonna stop


Bridge:
  E minorEm         A augmentedA
The limousine, hot rod, Beetle and the van
   E minorEm         A augmentedA
It's gonna go way out of hand

With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights
     D MajorD
To be our guiding hand
          D MajorD              A augmentedA
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
       A augmentedA
With all the hoots and the toots
    A7A7
And the traffic brutes
      D MajorD
To fill our loving land


Interlude:
     A minorAm
I wonder who's gonna win this great big race
G+G           E minorEm
Mechanical man or the natural pace
    G+G
For the world's getting smaller
    G+G              A augmentedA
And the time's getting shorter every day
