Richard Shindell - Transit
[Intro]
B
[Verse 1]
B7
The merge from the turnpike was murder, but it's never a cinch
C
It was Friday at five, and no one was giving an inch
D
They squeezed and they edged and they glared
C D C
Half of them clearly impaired by rage or exhaustion
B7
The rest were just touchy as hell
[Verse 2]
B7
Somewhere near Paterson everything slowed to a crawl
C
The all-news station was thanking someone for the call
D
It's a van from St. Agnes' choir
C D
There's a nun out there changing a tire
C B7
By the time they got by her, tempers were out of control
[Verse 3]
Am
So they all hit the gas in a dash for position
C
Bobbing and weaving and flashing their high-beams
Em
Flipping the bird and screaming obscenities
C B7
A well-insured hoard, hell-bent on Saturday
[Verse 4]
B7
And so they continued, west-bound and into the sun
C
Law and decorum constraining nary a one
D
By then it was devil-may-care
C D
Not a one even vaguely aware
C B7
That they had come all the way to the Delaware Water Gap
[Verse 5]
Am
But how had it happened? They had all missed their exits
C
How had it happened? Was it some kind of vortex?
Em
And in they all went, bumper to bumper
C
Faster and faster, no sign of a trooper
G
And in they all went, like sheep to the slaughter
D
Bankers and carpenters and doctors and lawyers
Em
And in they all went, families in minivans
