This is 100% ripped off from Jonathan Healey's tab of Phish's cover (http://emilstabs.org/wiki/index.php/Light_Up_Or_Leave_Me_Alone) that I have modified to Traffic's original studio version from Low Spark.

About artist:
After disbanding in 1969 during which time Winwood joined Blind Faith, Traffic reunited in 1970 to release the critically acclaimed album John Barleycorn Must Die. The band's line-up varied from this point until they disbanded again in 1975, although a partial reunion took place in 1994.[1]
