One of the few songs I've ever seen through to completion with both words and music - with (like all three songs this has ever happened with) our Linds. Copyright us!
Based on a true story...

A Bm
Sitting in a traffic jam on the motorway

In the rear-view mirror the gui-tars be-gan to sway

Before you could say 'capo' the gui-tars were do-ing...things
Bridge
D D-sus4 G G
Guitars being naughty - on the M-40

Verse
Things got a bit exciting, they were bouncing up and down
We had to separate them every time I looked around

Those french guitars were a bad...inf-lu-ance

(building back to strumming by end of verse)
Now that cheap'n'cheerful-'s all covered up with dust
I play this Aria - 'cause it's monog-ymous

The day that I fell in love
D G A F#m G
The day my guitar stayed with me
