Traffic foi uma banda de rock de Birmingham, Inglaterra, formada no início de 1967 por Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood e Dave Mason. O som distinto da banda, suas gravações inovadoras e a escrita compartilhada de letras influenciaram vários outros grupos de rock progressivo no final da década de 1960 e início da década de 1970. Curiosidade: Jim Capaldi gravou em 2001 a música Anna Julia, grande sucesso do grupo brasileiro los Hermanos, tendo George Harrison que morreria em novembro do mesmo ano na guitarra.

40,000 Headmen Traffic (Winwood/Capaldi)
(Em) Forty thousand headmen couldn't (Am) make me change my mind If I (Bm) had to take the choice between the (Am) deaf man and the blind I (Bm) know just where my feet should go and (Am) that's enough for me I (Bm) turned around and knocked them down And (Am) walked A(G)cross the (Em) sea.
(same chord pattern as 1st verse)
Hadn't travelled very far when suddenly I saw Three small ships a sailin' towards a distant shore So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
chorus: (E7) Filling up my pockets even (A7)stuffed it up my nose I (E7) must have weighed a hundred tons bet(A7)ween my head and toes I (E7)ventured forth before the dawn had (A7) time to change it's mind E7AGEm And (E7) soaring high above the clouds I (A) found a (G) golden (Em) shrine.
verse: Laying down my treasure before the iron gate Quickly rang the bell, hoped I hadn't come too late But someone came along and told me not to waste my time And when I asked him who he was he said "Just look behind"
chorus: So I turned around and 40,000 headmen bit the dirt Firing twenty shotguns each and man it really hurt But luckily for me they had to stop and then reload And by the time they'd done I was heading down the road.
inst. break on Em
Em Heading down the road, Forty thousand headmen on my trail
