D Am D Am
It was raining hard in Frisco
D Am D Am
I needed one more fare to make my night
D Am D Am
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
C Bb D D Am/D D Am/D
She got in at the light
D Am/D D Am/D
Where you going to my Lady Blue
D Am/D D Am/D D Am/D
It’s a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
D Am/D D Am/D
She just looked out the window
C Bb
She said, "16 Parkside Lane."
D - Am/D - D - Am/D - C - Bb - D - C - Bb - D - Am/D
D Am/D D Am/D
Something about her was familiar
D Am/D D Am/D
I could swear I seen her face before
D Am/D D Am/D
But she said, "I’m sure you’re mistaken."
C Bb D - Am/D - D - Am/D
And she didn’t say anything more.
D Am/D D Am/D
It, took a while but she looked in the mirror
D Am/D D Am/D
Then she glanced at the license for my name
D Am/D D Am/D
A smile seemed to come to her slowly.
C Bb D Am/D - D - Am/D
It was a sad smile just the same
G D
And she said, "How are you, Harry?"
C G D
I said, "How are you, Sue?
G D Bm
Through the too many miles and the too little smiles
Em7 Em/A D Am/D
I still remember you."
D - Am/D - D - Am/D - D - Am/D - D - Am/D
D - Am/D - C - Bb - D - Am/D - D
Am/D D Am/D D Am/D
It was somewhere in a fairy tale
D Am/D D Am/D
I used to take her home in my car
D Am/D D Am/D
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge,
C Bb D - Am/D - D - Am/D
The lesson hadn’t gone too far
G Em
You see, she was gonna be an actress
D Bm
And I was gonna learn to fly
G D
She took off to find the footlights,
C Bb D Am/D
I took off to find the sky.
D - C - C - C
C
Oh, I've got something inside me
Bm E7
To drive the princess blind
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/G Am Am/F# Am/E
There’s a wild man wizard he’s hiding in me
D Em
Illuminating my mind
C
I got something inside me
Bm E7
Not what my life’s about
Am Am/G Gm/F# Am/G Am Am/G Am/F#
’Cause I been letting my outside tide me
Bbmaj7 Ebmaj7
Over ’til my time runs out.
Ebmaj7 - Ebmaj7 - Ebmaj7 - Bbmaj7 - F
F Cmaj7
Baby’s so high that she’s skying
Gm7 C7
Yeah she’s flying, but afraid to fall
F Fmaj7 Em
And I’ll tell you why Baby’s crying
Am9 Gm9 D Am/D
’Cause she’s dying, aren’t we all?
D Am/D D Am/D
There was not much more for us to talk about
D Am/D D Am/D
Whatever we had once was gone.
D Am/D D Am/D
So I turned the cab into the driveway
C Bb D - Am/D
Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns
D Am/D
And she said, "We must get together."
D Am/D D - Am/D
But I knew it’d never be arranged.
D Am/D D Am/D
And she handed me twenty dollars for a two-fifty fare
C Bb
She said, "Harry, keep the change."
D - Am/D - D - Am/D
Dadd2
Well another man might have been angry
And another man might have been hurt
But another man never would have let her go
C Bb D - Am/D - D - Am/D
I stashed the bill in my shirt.
G D
And she walked away in silence
C G D
It’s strange how you never know
G D Bm
But we’d both gotten what we’d asked for
Em7 Em/A D Am/D - D - Am/D
Such a long, long time ago
D Am/D D Am/D
You see, she was gonna be an actress
D Am/D D Am/D
And I was gonna learn to fly
D Am/D D Am/D
She took off to find the footlights
C Bb D - Am/D - D - Am/D
I took off to find the sky
G Em
And here she’s acting happy,
D Bm
Inside her handsome home
G D
And me I’m flying in my taxi
C Bb D
Taking tips and getting stoned
Em A D Am/D D - Am/D
I go flying so high when I’m stoned
