This is a great Harry Chapin song and I hope you all enjoy it as much 
as I do. 
 
 
Sequel 
Harry Chapin      (klr) 
 
   G                 Em     D                   Bm
So here she's actin' happy, inside her handsome home 
    G                    D            C    Bb
And me, I'm flyin' in my taxi, taking tips and 
        D
gettin' stoned 
                                D Am
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 
       C            Bb         D
Then I knew where I had to go   
                                     D Am
I thought about taking a limousine 

Or at least a fancy car 

But I ended up taking a "Taxi' 
       C            Bb   D
'Cause that's how I this far 
        G                        Em
You see ten years ago it was the front seat 
        D                     Bm
Drivin' stoned and feelin' no pain 
    G                      D
Now here I am straight and sittin' in the back 
        C       Bb       D       C Bb D
Hitting Sixteen Parkside Lane  
C  E 
 
                                            E Bm
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 
              D            C    E        D C E
And said "She doesn't live here anymore 
                                       E Bm
But he offered to give me the address 

That they were forwarding her letters to 

I just took it and returned to the cabbie 
                D        C        E       D C E
And said "I got one more fare for you." 
E                              G
And so we rolled back into the city 
        A                    C
Up to a five story old brown stone 
           D                             E
I rang the bell that had her name on the mailbox 
    D                      E     D C E C D
The buzzer said somebody's home
E 
 
E                               G
And the look on her face as she opened the door 
            A                  C
Was like an old joke told by a friend 
           D                        E
It'd taken ten more years but she'd found her smile 
      D                            E
And I watched the corners start to bend 
        A                  B7
And she said, ?How are you Harry? 
           E
Haven't we played this scene before?? 
  A                      E
I said, "It's so good to see you , Sue. 
       D           C
Had to play it out just once E more 
D                      E
Play it out  just once more." 
                                                      E Bm
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." 
   D  -  E x2 
 
              A                        F#m
That's when I asked her where was that actress 
    E                       C#m
She said "That was somebody else." 
           A                           E
And then I asked her why she looked so happy now 
             D                                   E
She said, "I finally like myself, at last I like myself." 
E  Abm  E7  E7/Db  F#m  D7  C  E 
 
E
          So we talked all through that afternoon 
Abm
     Talking about where we'd been 
E7
       We talked of the tiny difference 
E7/Db
  Between ending and starting to begin 
F#m
     We talked ?cause talking tells you things 
D7
        Like what you are really thinking about 
C
          But sometimes you can't find what you're feeling 
E
          ?Til all the words run out 
                                       E Bm 
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." 
           D       C    E        D E D E
She said, ? Harry, your right." 
      A                F#m
Don't ask me if I made love to her 
         E          
Or which one of us started to cry. 
      A                                E
Don't ask me why she wouldn't take the money that I left. 
     D                   E     D C E C Bb D
If I answered at all I'd lie. 
                                             Am D
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 
              C                Bb          D
And how she's flying with both feet on the ground 
        G                    Em
I guess it's a sequel to our story 
          D                         Bm
>From the journey ?tween heaven and hell 
     G                              D
With half the time thinking of what might have been been 
    C             Bb      D
And half thinkin' just as well 
        G    A7        D
I guess only time will tell
