Leo Kottke I Yell at Traffic Lyrics

Here's the result of another lazy Sunday afternoon. Funny thing about
this song is that I didn't fall in love with it until I heard it in the
video _Home and Away_. On the album _Regards from Chuck Pink_ there's
too much background stuff cluttering Leo's sound. It could also just
be the difference having seen him do the bend in part A. He makes an
exagerated motion up and down with the guitar neck. :)
As far as Kottke songs go, this one seems intermediate in difficulty.
I *strongly* suggest you try this on a 12 string tuned down 2 whole
tones. A 6 string, or a concert 12 just don't seem to do it justice.
Not enough growl.
As usual, linefeeds inserted so that it prints nicely at 66 lines/page.
Enjoy
