Taxi-Harry Chapin A guy kept requesting this song and i couldn't find a simple chord chart on here so here one is, it is only a rough guide but it should get you through a performance. (D to Am7 vamp throughout most of verse, listen to the song for the picking) 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 down and ^Cshe got ^Bbin at the ^Dlight, 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 said ^Csixteen ^Bbparkside ^Dlane, D-Am7 Something about her was familiar, I could swear I seen that face before, But she said Im sure your mistaken, and she ^Cdidnt say ^Bbanything ^Dmore, 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 to her slowly, it was a ^Csad smile ^Bbjust the ^Dsame, And ^Gshe said how are you ^DHarry, I ^Csaid ^GHow are you ^DSue, Through the ^Gtoo many ^Emmiles and ^Dtwo little ^Bmsmiles I ^Cstill--- ^Bbremember ^Dyou 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 a Dodge, the ^Clessons h^Bbadn’t gone to ^Dfar, You see ^Gshe was gonna be an ^Emactress, and ^DI was gonna learn to ^Bmfly ^GShe took off to find the ^Bmfootlights, ^CI took ^Bboff to find the ^Dsky

Bridge

^CIve got something inside me^Bm, to make a princess ^Eblind, ^CThere's a ^Emwild man ^Amwiza^Emrd ^Ches hiding ^Emin ^Amme, ^Dilluminatin my ^Emmind, ^CIve got something inside me,^Bm not what my life's ^Eabout ^CCause Ive ^Embeen ^Amletting ^Emmy ^Coutside ^Emtide ^Amme ^Fover 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. 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 driveway, past the ^Cgate and the ^Bbfine trimmed ^Dlawn, 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 two fifty fare and said ^CHarry, ^BbKeep the ^Dchange

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 have let her go, I ^Cstashed the ^Bbbill in my ^Dshirt,

And ^Gshe walked away in ^Emsilence, its ^Dstrange how you never ^Bmknow, But ^Gwe'd both gotten what we'd ^Dasked ^Bmfor, such a ^Glong, long, time ^Dago, 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, ^CI took ^Bboff to find the ^Dsky And here's ^Gshe's acting ^Dhappy, ^Cinside her ^Ghandsome ^Dhome, G D Bm 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
