[Verse 1]
G6 D9/F#
Taxied up and down this town since nineteen fifty four
Em7 G6
Wore out ten or a dozen cars or more Over thirty years or more
G6 D9/F#
Drove the other side of midnight To the clear edge of dawn
Em7 D9/F# A7sus4
I heard a whole lot of what wasn't right and more of what was wrong.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G6 D9/F#
Man gets in my cab one night I'm sittin' at the stand,
Em7 G6
Slumps down in the back seat with his face down in his hands,
G6 D9/F#
A mumbled out of town address is his only remark.
Em7 D9/F# Asus4
Until we're half way out the high way And he speaks up from the dark
[Verse 3]
D9/F# G6 D9/F#
And he says 'I can find no comfort in this night
Bm D9/F# G6
Friend I believe I might have taken someones life
Em7 D9/F# Em7 D9/F#
I remember screamin' I re - member the front door slam
Em7 D9/F# Em7(2/4 time)Asus4(4/4 time)
Don't remember how I got these stains upon my hands'
G6 D9/F#
Drop him at this dirty shack He's a picture of despair
Em7 G6
I can't remember what the meter read or if he even paid the fare
[Verse 4]
G6 D9/F#
All I recall was a sweet release I was halfway back to town
Em7 D9/F# Asus4(2/4/time) G6(4/4 time)
And a police cruiser with the flashing light was flaggin' my down
D9/F# G6 D9/F#
Flaggin' my down.
G6 D9/F#
There are times I hear him whisper in the night
Bm D9/F# G6
'Friend I believe I might have taken someones life
Em7 D9/F# G6 D9/F#
I remember screamin' I remember the front door slam
G6 D9/F# Em7(2/4 time) A7sus4(4/4 time)
Don't remember how I got all these stains upon my hands'
