A (with main riff x2)
London traffic - state of confusion

London traffic - blocking the streets

London traffic - going nowhere

London traffic - polluting our air

D                  A         G            A
Drive round London in a car, don't really want to go far.
D            A                 G             A              Asus4 A
So many cars fill the streets, wonder why we bother at all.

D              A
London traffic is a problem
D              G        A
London traffic too many cars
G               A
One way systems look very neat
G                A                 Asus4 A
Coloured signs direct the streets

D                A       C               G
No-one knows the answer, no-one seems to care,
D           A            C                G   A     Asus4 A
Take a look at the city, take the traffic elsewhere.

E              B                  E                A         B
Leave the city free from traffic, give the place a chance to survive.
A              B             A                   B
Dirt and filth cover London, give it a chance to breathe again.
