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
Dean

"I Yell at Traffic" by Leo Kottke
Found on _Regards from Chuck Pink, and _Home and Away_.
Transcribed by Dean Gaudet.

Twelve string guitar.  Standard tuning.  The version on _Regards_ is concert
pitch.  The version on _Home and Away_ is 2 whole tones down from concert.
Transcribed from the _Home and Away_ video, but matches the _Regards_
version fairly well.  Some assembly required.

_Home and Away_ ordering:   ABCD AEFD AEG
_Regards_ ordering      : E ABCD AEFD AEG
