Title: THE LOW SPARK OF HIGH-HEELED BOYS (Traffic)
Am Bm
If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
We were children once playing with toys
A E
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound
G D C
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
A7 D A7 A7 D A7
Chorus: The percentage you're paying is too high priced
| A7 D A7
| While you're living beyond all you're means
| A7 D A7
| And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
| G D
| From the profit he's made on your dreams
| G D
| But today you just read that the man was shot dead
| G D
| By a gun that didn't make any noise
| A E
| But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest
| G D C
| Was the low spark of high-heeled boys.
LEAD: Am Bm
Am Bm
If you had just a minute to breathe
And they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance
Or something similar as this
Don't worry too much it'll happen to you
As sure as your sorrows are joys
A E
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound
G D C
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys
(Chorus)
LEAD: Am Bm
Am Bm
If I gave you everything that I owned
And asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you
Or take me for a ride
And strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
A E
And the sound that disturbs you is only the sound
G D C
Of the low spark of high-heeled boys

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in the rain.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TRAFFIC tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
