(F)From the eighteenth (C/E)century's (Dm)cobblestone streets
With the (Bb)horse and the carraiges to (C)rest our feet
To the (Am)train and city (Dm)tram
Came the (G)birth of mechanical (C)man
And with me(F)chanical (C/E)man came the (Dm)automobile
Henry (Bb)Ford's Model 'T' with an (C)engine on wheels
And a (Am)crazy race be(Dm)gan
with a (Am)car for every (C)man.
A limousine, hot rod, (Bb)Beetle and a van, or maybe just an old (C)sedan.

We're heading for a (F)great big worldwide traffic (C)jam
With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights
To be our (F)guiding hand.
We're heading for a (F)great big worldwide traffic (C)jam
With all the hoots and the toots and the traffic brutes
To (F)fill our loving land.
I wonder (F7)who's gonna win this great big race,
(Bb)Mechanical (F/A)man or the (Gm)natural pace? (C)

(F)From the back seat (C/E)Romeo in (Dm)lover's lane
To the (Bb)family car on a (C)highway in Spain,
There's (Am)a car for every (Dm)need,
With the (G)shape, the colour and (C)speed.
It's the (F)twentieth (C/E)century's (Dm)technical toy,
Full of (Bb)buttons and dials, full of (C)comfort and joy
But the (Am)number's going (Dm)up - I wonder (Am)where it's gonna (C)stop
The limousine, hot rod, (Bb)Beetle and the van,
It's gonna go way out (C)of hand.

We're heading for a (F)great big worldwide traffic (C)jam
With only red lights, green lights, yellow lights
To be our (F)guiding hand.
We're heading for a (F)great big worldwide traffic (C)jam
With all the hoots and the toots and the traffic brutes
To (F)fill our loving land.
I wonder (F7)who's gonna win this great big race,
(Bb)Mechanical (F/A)man or the (Gm)natural pace? (C)
For the world's getting smaller,
And the time's getting shorter every day...

We're heading for a (F)great big worldwide traffic (C)jam
We're heading for a (F)great big worldwide traffic (C)jam
We're heading for a (F)great big worldwide traffic (C)ja

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
