             D      Am         D   Am              D          Am                    D      Am  
It was raining hard in Frisco, I needed one more fare to make my night.   
         D            Am                D          Am         C      Bb             D   
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down and she got in at the light.   
         D             Am              D     Am               D                           Am           D      Am  
 Where are you going, my lady blue? It a shame you ruined your gown in the rain.   
      D           Am               D      Am                 C           Bb        D   
She just looked out the window, she said sixteen Parkside Lane.  
   
         D          Am                   D    Am             D                     Am           D      Am  
 Something about her was familiar;     I could swear I seen that face before,   
                  D            Am                D      Am                      C           Bb          D    
But she said,  I'm sure you mistaken,           and she didn't say anything more.   
                 D                   Am              D   Am                   D                  Am               D      Am  
It took a while but she looked in the mirror       and she glanced at the license for my name.  
        D                       Am           D      Am                       C          Bb           D   
A smile seemed to come to her slowly          it was a sad smile just 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       Bb       D  
Through the too many miles and two little smiles I still remember you.   
              D          Am        D   Am          D                 Am           D      Am  
It was somewhere in a fairy tale I used to drive her home in my car.   
          D                    Am            D           Am            C                Bb             D           
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge lessons hadn't gone too far.      
   
                G                                Em             D                           Bm  
You see, she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly.   
G                                       Bm       C        Bb                 D  
She took off to find the footlights, I took off to find the sky.   
                                 
Bridge:  
    C                                              Bm                 Esus4   E  
I got something inside me to make a princess blind.   
C               Em  Am/G  Am/F#   Am/G               Am   Am/G     Am/F#       D                            Em   
There's a wild man         wi - zard,           he hiding    in        me,         illuminating        my mind.   
     C                              Bm                        Esus4   E   
I got something inside me, not what my life's about,   
              Am  Am/G   Am/F#   Am/G               Am     Am/F   Am/F#         F                     Eb  
 I been        let - ting             my  outside tide           me  over till my time runs out.   


Bb  Eb  Bb  Eb  

      F                                     Em                Gm               C7  
Baby's so high that she's skyin', yes she's flyin, afraid to fall.  
                                   Em                        Gm                 D-Am7  
'll tell you why baby's cryin', 'cause she's dyin  aren we all?  

                  D              Am               D      Am             D       Am                   D      Am  
There was not much more for us to talk about. Whatever we once had was gone,    
               D           Am              D      Am                       C          Bb                       D   
So I turned my cab into the driveway,           past the gate and the fine trimmed lawn.   
               D                             Am                D                Am      D      Am  
And she said,  we must get together, but I knew it never be arranged,   
                 D                      Am                D      Am                     C      Bb             D       
So she handed me twenty dollars for a two-fifty fare and said, , Harry keep the change."  
   

                  D             Am                     D   Am                  D           Am                   D      Am   
Well, another man might have been angry,           and another man might have been hurt.  
            D                 Am              D       Am     C                    Bb            D    
But another man never would've let her go     I stashed the bill in my shirt.  

                    G                  Em               D                               Bm  
And she walked away in silence 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.  
   
                 G                                Em           D                         Bm  
You see, she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly.   
G                                      Bm       C      Bb              D  
She took off to find the footlights, I took off to find the sky.  

         G                            D      C               G                D   
And here, she's acting happy inside her handsome home,   
           G                             D           Bm           C        Bb       D Am  
and me, I flying in my taxi, taking tips and getting stoned.   
           G             A                  D     Am    
I go flying so high when I stoned.
