A (with main riff x2) A (with main riff x2) London traffic - state of confusion London traffic - blocking the streets London traffic - going nowhere London traffic - polluting our air

^DDrive round London ^Ain a car, ^Gdon't really ^Awant to go far. ^DSo many cars ^Afill the streets, ^Gwonder why we ^Abother at all. ^Asus4 ^A

^DLondon traffic ^Ais a problem ^DLondon traffic ^Gtoo many ^Acars ^GOne way systems ^Alook very neat ^GColoured signs di^Arect the streets ^Asus4 ^A

^A(main riff x2) ^DNo-one knows the ^Aanswer, ^Cno-one seems to ^Gcare, ^DTake a look ^Aat the city, ^Ctake the traffic ^Gelse^Awhere.^Asus4 ^A

^ELeave the city ^Bfree from traffic, ^Egive the place a ^Achance to ^Bsurvive. ^ADirt and filth ^Bcover London, ^Agive it a chance to ^Bbreathe again.
