A guy kept requesting this song and i couldn't find a simple chord chart on here
so here one is, it is only a rough guide but it should get you through a performance.
 
(D to Am7 vamp throughout most of verse, listen to the song for the picking)
 
 
[Verse]
 
D Am7
It was raining hard in Frisco, I needed one more fair to make my night, 
                                          C       Bb        D
A lady up ahead waved to flag me down and she got in at the light, 
D Am7
Where are you going my lady blue, its a shame you ruined you gown in the rain, 
                                         C       Bb       D
She just looked out the window, she said sixteen parkside lane, 
D Am7
Something about her was familiar, I could swear I seen that face before, 
                                            C         Bb       D
But she said Im sure your mistaken, and she didnt say anything more, 
D Am7
It took a while but she looked in the mirror and she glanced at the license 
                                                            C         Bb
for my name, A smile seemed to come to her slowly, it was a sad smile just 
    D
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 Am7
It was somewhere in a fairy tale, I used to drive her home in my car, 
                                                  C        Bb
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge, the lessons hadn’t gone to    
D
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                   E
Ive got something inside me, to make a princess blind, 
C         Em       Am  Em C          Em Am  D              Em
There's a wild man wizard hes hiding in me, illuminatin my mind, 
C                           Bm                  E
Ive got something inside me, not what my life's about 
C         Em   Am      Em C       Em   Am F
Cause Ive been letting my outside tide me over till my time runs out 
 
 
[Interlude]
F                         Cmaj7             Gm7               C7
Baby's so high that she's skying, yes she's flying, afraid to fall
F             Fmaj7      Em                   Em9              Gm9
I'll tell you why baby's crying, 'cause she's dying, aren't we all?
 
 
[Verse]
 
D Am7
There was not much more for us to talk about, whatever we once had was gone,  
                                               C            Bb
So I turned my cab into the driveway, past the gate and the fine trimmed 
D
lawn, 
D Am7
And she said we must get together, but I knew It'd never be arranged 
                                                           C      Bb
So she hand me twenty dollar for a two fifty fare and said Harry, Keep the
D
change 
 
D Am7  (same chords and timing but full strum not picked)
Well another man might have been angry, and another man might have been
                                                     C           Bb
hurt, but another man never would have let her go, I stashed the bill in my 
D
shirt, 
 
 
    G                  Em           D                     Bm
And she walked away in silence, its 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, 
 
 
D Am7 (Strummed)
You see she was gonna be an actress, and I was gonna learn to fly, 
                                     C      Bb              D
She took off to find the footlights, I took off to find the sky 
           G            Em      D                  Bm
And here's she's acting happy, inside her handsome home, 
 
 
    G              D            C   Bb          D Am7
and me I fly in my taxi, taking tips and gettin stoned 
G                 A             D Am7
I go fly---ing so high, when Im stoned
