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

D G 2x *

D
You walk and talk and move around in circles
G D (D G)
Your friends telling you you are doing fine
D G

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

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

D G 2x

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

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

D G 2x

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

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

D G D G
God knows why, why, why

D G . . . .
