Intro:
D   D

Verse 1:
     D          Bm
From the eighteenth century's 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            Bm
And with mechanical man came the automobile
   Em            A
Henry Ford's Model 'T' with an 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              A
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
     A
With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights
     D
To be our guiding hand
          D              A
We're heading for a great big 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       A
Mechanical man or the natural 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          Bm
It's the twentieth century's 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              A
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
     A
With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights
     D
To be our guiding hand
          D              A
We're heading for a great big 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              A
And the time's getting shorter every day

          D              A
We're heading for a great big worldwide traffic jam
          D          A
We're heading for a great big worldwide ja——-m
