SLAVE TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT
---------
by PHiSH <>{
Intro chords :
-------------
A -> G x4
After a series of drums gradually building up ,
 
A -> G x4
A -> G -> D -> E x4
A -> G x5
"Slave to the traffic light. Slave..."
"Slave to the traffic light. Slave..."
 
"Seen the city, seen the zoo, traffic light won't let me through." 
(Stacatto) E -> D
A -> G -> A -> G
(Stacatto) E -> D
E -> D x3
(Stacatto) F -> G -> A x3
(Stacatto) F -> G
Then comes some funky guitar stuff which I couldn't figure out
followed by some piano stuff and more guitar. This eventually leads
into the jam of the song.
The chords underlying the jam are :
A -> G -> D -> E
At the end of the jam, Trey hits these chords really hard and lets
the last A chord ring:
F -> G -> A
F -> G -> A
F -> G -> A
F -> G -> F -> G -> F -> G -> A
