This is a great Harry Chapin song and I hope you all enjoy it as much 
as I do. 
 
 
Sequel 
Harry Chapin      (klr) 
 
   G5                 E5     D5                   B5
So here she's actin' happy, inside her handsome home 
    G5                    D5            C5    Bb5
And me, I'm flyin' in my taxi, taking tips and 
        D5
gettin' stoned 
                                D5 A5
I got into town a little early 

Had eight hours to kill before the show 

First I though about heading up north of the bay 
       C5            Bb5         D5
Then I knew where I had to go   
                                     D5 A5
I thought about taking a limousine 

Or at least a fancy car 

But I ended up taking a "Taxi' 
       C5            Bb5   D5
'Cause that's how I this far 
        G5                        E5
You see ten years ago it was the front seat 
        D5                     B5
Drivin' stoned and feelin' no pain 
    G5                      D5
Now here I am straight and sittin' in the back 
        C5       Bb5       D5       C5 Bb5 D5
Hitting Sixteen Parkside Lane  
C5  E5 
 
                                            E5 B5
The driveway was the same as I remembered 

And a butler came and answered the door 

He just shook his head when I asked for her 
              D5            C5    E5        D5 C5 E5
And said "She doesn't live here anymore 
                                       E5 B5
But he offered to give me the address 

That they were forwarding her letters to 

I just took it and returned to the cabbie 
                D5        C5        E5       D5 C5 E5
And said "I got one more fare for you." 
E5                              G5
And so we rolled back into the city 
        A5                    C5
Up to a five story old brown stone 
           D5                             E5
I rang the bell that had her name on the mailbox 
    D5                      E5     D5 C5 E5 C5 D5
The buzzer said somebody's home
E5 
 
E5                               G5
And the look on her face as she opened the door 
            A5                  C5
Was like an old joke told by a friend 
           D5                        E5
It'd taken ten more years but she'd found her smile 
      D5                            E5
And I watched the corners start to bend 
        A5                  B5
And she said, ?How are you Harry? 
           E5
Haven't we played this scene before?? 
  A5                      E5
I said, "It's so good to see you , Sue. 
       D5           C5
Had to play it out just once E more 
D5                      E5
Play it out  just once more." 
                                                      E5 B5
She said ?I've heard you flying high on my radio.? 

I answered "It's not all it seem." 

That's when she laughed and she said, 

"It's better sometimes, when we don't D get to touch our E dreams." 
   D5  -  E5 x2 
 
              A5                        F#5
That's when I asked her where was that actress 
    E5                       C#5
She said "That was somebody else." 
           A5                           E5
And then I asked her why she looked so happy now 
             D5                                   E5
She said, "I finally like myself, at last I like myself." 
E5  Ab5  E5  E5  F#5  D5  C5  E5 
 
E5
          So we talked all through that afternoon 
Ab5
     Talking about where we'd been 
E5
       We talked of the tiny difference 
E5
  Between ending and starting to begin 
F#5
     We talked ?cause talking tells you things 
D5
        Like what you are really thinking about 
C5
          But sometimes you can't find what you're feeling 
E5
          ?Til all the words run out 
                                       E5 B5 
So I asked her to come to the concert 

She said ?No, I work at night." 

I said, ?We've gotten to damn good at leaving, Sue." 
           D5       C5    E5        D5 E5 D5 E5
She said, ? Harry, your right." 
      A5                F#5
Don't ask me if I made love to her 
         E5          
Or which one of us started to cry. 
      A5                                E5
Don't ask me why she wouldn't take the money that I left. 
     D5                   E5     D5 C5 E5 C5 Bb5 D5
If I answered at all I'd lie. 
                                             A5 D5
So I thought about her as I sang that night 

And how the circle keeps rolling around 

How I act as I'm facing the footlights 
              C5                Bb5          D5
And how she's flying with both feet on the ground 
        G5                    E5
I guess it's a sequel to our story 
          D5                         B5
>From the journey ?tween heaven and hell 
     G5                              D5
With half the time thinking of what might have been been 
    C5             Bb5      D5
And half thinkin' just as well 
        G5    A5        D5
I guess only time will tell
