Walking In The Wind chords
Traffic (Jim Capaldi, Steve Winwood)

G 2x *

    D
You walk and talk and move around in circles
     G)
Your friends telling you you are doing fine
G
You can't see that snowball as it hurtles
                                        G)
Through the shattered membranes of your mind
           G
If I could talk to you for just one minute
                                            G)
Then you would know what it is I am getting at
    G
But there again your head's got nothing in it
                                 G)
By the way you left without your hat

A
I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky
D
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why

G 2x
     D
Your old man's headed for the final pay-off
    G)
The joker that you got is fading too
    D
And all the sharks that come around for the rip-off
          G)
Are gonna tear the flesh right off you
    D
The plastic princess hangs her head in wonder
       D
at the silver glittered boys
G
Trying, trying to compete
    D
And all at once the room begins to thunder
    G)
And all that's left is the stain on the sheet

A
I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky
D
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why

G 2x

    D
The prostitute is standing on the corner
G)
Suffering so much pain to stay alive
D
She's so real, that life itself bows down before her
             G)
She couldn't make that nine to five
          D
While the president is crying, crying in the White House
    G)
The prime minister's really got the blues
D
All the heads of state are busy playing cat & mouse
                   G)
'Cause you can see none of them have ever paid their dues

A
I'm walking in the wind looking at the sky
D
Hanging on a breeze and wondering why, why

G
God knows why, why, why
