Soul Survivors - Expressway To Your Heart tab

of the first national hits (#3 R&B, #4 Pop) for future Philly-soul
mavens Gamble and Huff; Dave Marsh describes the Soul Survivors as 'what
the Young Rascals would have sounded like if they had grown up on the
other end of the New Jersey Turnpike'.  -- AWR

	Now there's too many  ahead of me
	They're all the time  gettin' in front of me
	I thought I could find a clear road ahead
	But I found  stoplights instead

	I got caught in the rush hour
	A fellow started to shower
	You with love and affection
	Come on, look in my direction

[repeat chorus]

	D#m         D#m/C#
