Taxi

D Am7
It was raining hard in Frisco, I needed one more fair to make my night,
                                          C       Bb        D
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down and she got in at the light,
D Am7
Where are you going my lady blue, its a shame you ruined you gown in the rain,
                                         C       Bb       D
She just looked out the window, she said sixteen parkside lane,
D Am7
Something about her was familiar, I could swear I seen that face before,
                                            C         Bb       D
But she said Im sure your mistaken, and she didnt say anything more,
D Am7
It took a while but she looked in the mirror and she glanced at the license
                                                            C         Bb
for my name, A smile seemed to come to her slowly, it was a sad smile just
    D
the same,


    G                    D        C    G           D
And she said how are you Harry, I said How are you Sue,
            G        Em        D          Bm       C        Bb       D
Through the too many miles and two little smiles I still--- remember you


D Am7
It was somewhere in a fairy tale, I used to drive her home in my car,
                                                  C        Bb
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge, the lessons hadn’t gone to
D
far,


        G                   Em           D                    Bm
You see she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly
G                        Bm          C      Bb              D
She took off to find the footlights, I took off to find the sky


[Bridge]

C                          Bm                   E
Ive got something inside me, to make a princess blind,
C         Em       Am  Em C          Em Am  D              Em
There's a wild man wizard hes hiding in me, illuminatin my mind,
C                           Bm                  E
Ive got something inside me, not what my life's about
C         Em   Am      Em C       Em   Am F
Cause Ive been letting my outside tide me over till my time runs out

chords or lyrics for this section please post or send them to me.


[Verse]

D Am7
There was not much more for us to talk about, whatever we once had was gone,
                                               C            Bb
So I turned my cab into the driveway, past the gate and the fine trimmed
D
lawn,
D Am7
And she said we must get together, but I knew It'd never be arranged
                                                           C      Bb
So she hand me twenty dollar for a two fifty fare and said Harry, Keep the
D
change

D Am7  (same chords and timing but full strum not picked)
Well another man might have been angry, and another man might have been
                                                     C           Bb
hurt, but another man never would have let her go, I stashed the bill in my
D
shirt,


    G                  Em           D                     Bm
And she walked away in silence, its strange how you never know,
    G                          D     Bm          G                D
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for, such a long, long, time ago,


D Am7 (Strummed)
You see she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly,
                                     C      Bb              D
She took off to find the footlights, I took off to find the sky
           G            Em      D                  Bm
And here's she's acting happy, inside her handsome home,


    G              D            C   Bb          D Am7
and me I fly in my taxi, taking tips and gettin stoned
G                 A             D Am7
I go fly---ing so high, when Im stoned
