DAm7
It was raining hard in Frisco, I needed one more fair to make my night,
CBbD
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down and she got in at the light,
DAm7
Where are you going my lady blue, its a shame you ruined you gown in the rain,
CBbD
She just looked out the window, she said sixteen parkside lane,
DAm7
Something about her was familiar, I could swear I seen that face before,
CBbD
But she said Im sure your mistaken, and she didnt say anything more,
DAm7
It took a while but she looked in the mirror and she glanced at the license
CBb
for my name, A smile seemed to come to her slowly, it was a sad smile just
D
the same,
GDCGD
And she said how are you Harry, I said How are you Sue,
GEmDBmCBbD
Through the too many miles and two little smiles I still--- remember you
DAm7
It was somewhere in a fairy tale, I used to drive her home in my car,
CBb
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge, the lessons hadn’t gone to
D
far,
GEmDBm
You see she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly
GBmCBbD
She took off to find the footlights, I took off to find the sky
[Bridge]
CBmE
Ive got something inside me, to make a princess blind,
CEmAmEmCEmAmDEm
There's a wild man wizard hes hiding in me, illuminatin my mind,
CBmE
Ive got something inside me, not what my life's about
CEmAmEmCEmAmF
Cause Ive been letting my outside tide me over till my time runs out
Weird high singing interlude, I just play some jazzy 7 chords. If anyone has the
chords or lyrics for this section please post or send them to me.
[Verse]
DAm7
There was not much more for us to talk about, whatever we once had was gone,
CBb
So I turned my cab into the driveway, past the gate and the fine trimmed
D
lawn,
DAm7
And she said we must get together, but I knew It'd never be arranged
CBb
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
CBb
hurt, but another man never would have let her go, I stashed the bill in my
D
shirt,
GEmDBm
And she walked away in silence, its strange how you never know,
GDBmGD
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,
CBbD
She took off to find the footlights, I took off to find the sky
GEmDBm
And here's she's acting happy, inside her handsome home,
GDCBbDAm7
and me I fly in my taxi, taking tips and gettin stoned
GADAm7
I go fly---ing so high, when Im stoned
