[C#7#9]You jump in front of my car when you, [F#7]you know all the time, that a
[C#7#9]Ninety mi-les an hour girl is the [F#7]speed I drive
[Bm7]You tell me it's al-right, [E7b9]you don't mind a little pain
[Am7]You say you just want me to [G#7b5]take you for a drive
You're just like
[C#7#9](Crosstown traffic) so hard to [F#7]get through to you
[C#7#9](Crosstown traffic) I don't need to [F#7]run over you
[C#7#9](Crosstown traffic) all you do is slow me down
and I'm [Bsus4]trying to get to the other side of town
[C#7#9]I'm not the only soul who's [F#]accused of hit and run
[C#7#9]Tyre tracks all across your back I can [F#](heh) I can see you had your fun
But ah, [B7#9] darlin' can't you see my [E7b9]signals turn from green to red
[A7#9]and with you I see a traffic jam [G#7b5]straight up ahead
{c: Chorus (twice)}

"Don't wanna ride no shootin' star. Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar." Emmylou Harris, "Rhythm Guitar" from "The Ballad of Sally Rose"
The way I play it, I barre the first two strings at the 9th fret along with the third string at the 11th. and I slowely bend the third string as I play the intro. :D
I play the guitar, I taught myself how to play the guitar, which was a bad decision... because I didn't know how to play it, so I was a sh***y teacher. I would never have went to me. -Mitch Hedberg
I bet that sounds good! Love that song! Perhaps you could record your version and share it with us? New ideas always help! :D
