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