Traffic - Stereophonics
From the album, "Word Gets Around" (1997)
---------------------------------------------
*LP Version*
(Transcribed by TNT SHWE)
Notes:
I first heard this on the radio and I liked it immediately. This is a real good catchy tune and is another good example of poetry with music! Play this acoustically for the best results!
In two of the verses there is a part in which the hammer-on and pull-off effect takes action just like in the Intro section. These parts are marked by an asterisk (*) next to the chord (listen to the track to hear what I'm on about).
Recommended Chord Positions:
Am xO221O
C x32O1O
Dsus2 xxO23O
F/E x3321O

Verse 1:
We all face the sa[C]me way
Still it takes al[Am]l day
Take a look to my[F/E] left
Pick out the worst and th[C]e best
C (*)
She paints her lip
Greasy an[Am]d thick
Another mirror st[F/E]are
Dsus2 C (*)
And she's going where?
Verse 2:
(Same chords and rhythm as Verse 1)
Another office affair
To kill an unborn scare?
You talk dirty to a priest
Makes you human at least
Is she running away
To start a brand new day?
Or she going home?
Why's she driving alone?
Chorus 1:
Is [F/E]anyone [Dsus2]going [C]anywhere?
[F/E]Everyone's [Dsus2]gotta be [C]somewhere[Am] [F/E] [C]
Verse 3:
(Same chords and rhythm as Verses 1 and 2)
She got a body in the boot
Or just bags full of food?
Those are models legs
But are they womens are they mens?
She shouts down the phone
Missed a payment on the loan
She gotta be above the rest
Keeping up with the best
Chorus 2:
Is [F/E]anyone [Dsus2]going [C]anywhere?
[F/E]Everyone's [Dsus2]gotta be [C]somewhere[Am] [F/E] [C]
Bridge:
[F/E] [C]
Verse 4:
(Same chords and rhythm as Verses 1, 2 and 3)
Waits tables for a crook?
Wrote a hard back book?
You teach kids how to read?
Or sell your body on the street?
A nurse without a job?
Another uptown snob?
But have I got you all wrong?
Chorus 3:
Is [F/E]anyone [Dsus2]going [C]anywhere?
Is [F/E]anyone [Dsus2]going [C]anywhere?
Is [F/E]anyone [Dsus2]going [C]anywhere?
[F/E]Everyone's [Dsus2]gotta be [C]somewhere[Am] [F/E] [C]
Outro:
Take it easy... C-ya! =)
