(Intro) A Em/A (4x)
A Em/A A Em/A A Em/A A Em/A
It was raining hard in Frisco I needed one more fare to make my night
A Em/A A Em/A G F A Em/A A Em/A
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down she got in at the light
A Em/A A Em/A
Oh where ya going to my lady blue
A Em/A A Em/A A Em/A
It?s a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
A Em/A A Em/A G F A Em/A A Em/A
She just looked out the window she said Sixteen Parkside Lane
(Interlude) A G D (hold) A G B (hold)
B A B A B A B A
Something about her was familiar I could swear I?d seen her face before
B A B A A G B A B A
But she said I?m sure you?re mistaken and she didn?t say anything more
B A B A
It took a while but she looked in the mirror
B A B A
Then she glanced at the license for my name
B A B A A G B A B A
A smile seemed to come to her slowly it was a sad smile just the same
(Chorus)
E B A E B
And she said how are you Harry, I said how are you Sue
E F# B G#m E A B A
Through the too many miles and too little smiles I still... remember you
(Interlude) B A(4x) A G B A B A
B A B A B A B A
It was somewhere in a fairy tale I used to take her home in my car
B A B A
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge
A G B A B A
The lessons hadn?t gone too far
E C#m7 B G#m
You see she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly
E B E A B A B A (build up)
She took off to find the footlights I took off to find the sky
(Bridge)
A G#m C#
Oh I?ve got something inside me to drive a princess blind
A F# F#m B C#m
There's a wild man wizard he?s hiding in me, illuminatin my mind
A G#m C#
Oh I?ve got something inside me not what my life's about
F#m C#m F#m D B A B A
Cause I?ve been letting my outside tide me over till my time runs out
B A B A
There was not much more for us to talk about
B A B A
Whatever we had once was gone
B A B A
So I turned my cab into the driveway
A G B A B A
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns
B A B A B A B A
And she said we must get together but I knew it?d never be arranged
B A B A
And she hand me twenty dollars for a two fifty fare
A G B A B A
And said Harry keep the change
B A
Well another man might have been angry
B A
And another man might have been hurt
B A
But another man never would have let her go
A G B A B A
I stashed the bill in my shirt
(Chorus)
E B A E B
And she walked away in silence, it?s strange how you never know
E F# B G#m E A B A B A
But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for such a long... long, time ago
B A B A B A B A
You see she was gonna be an actress and I was gonna learn to fly
B A B A A G B A B A
She took off to find the footlights I took off to for the sky
E C#m7 B G#m
And here's she's acting happy, inside her handsome home
E B E A B A B A
And me I fly in my taxi, taking tips and gettin stoned
C#m7 F# B A B A B A B A D(hold)
I go flying so high, when I?m stoned
