Verse 1:
F Am
A black cavalcade winds its way through the backstreets,

Flowers piled high on a wooden box.
F Am
friends and relations sat in rows in the back seats,
D G
All looking shakey cos it came as a shock.

A black cavalcade winds its way through the backstreets,
D G
Some poor soul took his final taxi.
F Am
There's only one destination in the final taxi (x2).
Verse 2:
F Am
Up through the town to the Garden of Rest,
D G
Riding in style in a long wooden box.

No fare on the meter, they'll be paying by cheque,
D G
This is one fare you dont see up on the clock.
Chorus.

They lowered him down into a hole in the ground,

Threw in the flowers and shovelled earth on top.

For a funeral tea, with twentu five guests.
F Am
The cars pulled away for the funeral tea,
D G
Cos some poor sod took his final taxi.
