Chord Taxi by Harry Chapin

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 , C A# 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 A# 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 A# 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 A# 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 A# 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 A# we learned about love in the back of a dodge , the lessons hadnt 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 A# 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 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 , C A# 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 A# 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 A# 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 A# D she took off to find the footlights , i took off to find the sky G D C G D and here’s she’s acting happy , inside her handsome home , G D Bm C A# 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
