Taxi

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


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


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

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


[Bridge]

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

[Verse]

D Am7
There was not much more for us to 
talk about, whatever we once had was
 gone,
So I turned my cab into the 
                   C            Bb
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
So she hand me twenty dollar for a 
                        C      Bb
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
hurt, but another man never would 
                   C           Bb
have let her go, I stashed the bill 
in my
D
shirt,


    G                  Em         
And she walked away in silence, 
  D                     Bm
its strange how you never know,
    G                          D  
But we'd both gotten what we'd 
   Bm          G                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,
She took off to find the footlights,
 C      Bb              D
 I took off to find the sky
           G            Em   
And here's she's acting happy, 
   D                  Bm
inside her handsome home,


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