Many A Mile To Freedom - Traffic

First, let me say I think the importance of Traffic in rock history is widely understated.
Their songs really get under my skin!
I couldn't find chords for this one anywhere online, can't believe nobody tabbed it yet.
On the Low Spark album it is in C but other keys I tried seemed friendlier on guitar.
Here is the essence of it in several keys. Judge correctitude for yerownself.
I may have simplified it a bit, especially the walkdown, but it works for me.

Many A Mile To Freedom - Traffic (in D, why didn't I try this before? I think I like this best, especially capoed up a bit)

Intro: A and Asus back and forth a few times

[D]Many a mile to [Gm]freedom, [F]many a smile to [Asus]tell
[D]Ask my bluebird to [Gm]sing you, [F]from the heart of a [Asus]wishing well
[Gm]Call all my reindeer to [F]graze here, [E7]call all my grain to [A]grow
Then [G walkdown]together we flow like the river[D]
Then [C]together we melt like the [Bb]snow  [A][Bb][A][Asus]

Many a thought unanswered, many a tale to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
And together we melt like the snow

Many a mile to freedom, many a smile to tell
Ask my bluebird to sing you, from the heart of a wishing well
If you should ask me to give you the reason for life that we know
Then together we flow like the river
Then together we melt like the snow

A few more miles to go
Miles to freedom

* in C, the walk-down from F to C is SORT OF like this

------2---2-----0---0---------2---2--------2----------------

------------------------------------------------------------
to-gether we  flow like the river        (C)

* In A, the walk-down in from D to A is SORT OF like this (barre 2nd fret)
------------------------------------------------------------
------(3)--------(3)-----------(3)------------(2)-----------
-------2----------3-------------2--------------2------------
-----4----------3-------------4--------------2--------------
---5-----5----4-----4-------2------2-------0----------------
------------------------------------------------------------
to-gether we  flow like the river         (A)

Of course you can finger this different ways, the feel of it comes from the bass note going down.

By Esus I mean something like this, hope that's right!
