Biography:
The English rock band Traffic started out with Steve Winwood, Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi, and Chris Wood after Winwood left The Spencer Davis Group. From their beginning, in 1967, they were quite popular in their native England, though success elsewhere was slower in coming. Their first three albums combined psychedelic rock and soul with elements of British folk music, giving them a unique, groundbreaking sound. Their most popular single was Dear Mr. Fantasy, from the album of the same name.

Dear Mister Fantasy (Winwood, Capaldi, Wood)
by Traffic
Intro: A G D lick--->into A chord of VERSE 1
lick
e|-----------------------------| where:
B|-----------------------------| 3-3-3 = triplet
G|-----------------------------| b = 1/4 or slight accent bend
D|-----------------0-----------| h = hammer-on
A|----------0---3b---3b--0-----|
E|------0h3--------------------|
3-3-3
note:
Chords are played in standard position (A: X02220, G: 320033, D: XX0232)
as you pick arpeggios up and down the strings. There is also a "tickle" of
the 3rd fret on the high e string during the D chord (making it Dsus4 for a
split second) during the verses. Listen to the song and you'll hear what I
mean.
VERSE 1:
A G
Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,
D A lick
Something to make us all happy.
A G
Do anything, take us out of this gloom,
D A lick
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.
VERSE 2:
A G
You are the one who can make us all laugh,
D A lick
But doing that, you break out in tears.
A G
Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,
D A
We wouldn't have known you all these years.
BRIDGE:
F#m A
OH..... AH.... 3x
F#m G E7 lick
OH..... AH.... AH...
VERSE 1
SOLO 1 over D major scale
VERSE 1
VERSE 2
SOLO 2 over D major scale
G--A (repeat and fade out)
