This is a great Harry Chapin song and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. Sequel Harry Chapin (klr) So G here she's actin' Em happy, D inside her handsome Bm home And G me, I'm flyin' in my D taxi, taking C tips Bb and gettin' D stoned I got into town a little early D Am Had eight hours to kill before the show First I though about heading up north of the bay Then I C knew where I Bb had to go D I thought about taking a limousine D Am Or at least a fancy car But I ended up taking a 'Taxi' 'Cause C that's how I Bb this D far You see G ten years ago it was the Em front seat Drivin' D stoned and feelin' no Bm pain Now G here I am straight and D sittin' in the back Hitting C Sixteen Bb Parkside D Lane C Bb D D C E The driveway was the same as I remembered E Bm And a butler came and answered the door He just shook his head when I asked for her And said 'She D doesn't live C here E anymore D C E But he offered to give me the address E Bm That they were forwarding her letters to I just took it and returned to the cabbie And said 'I got D one more C fare for E you.' D C E E And so we rolled back into the G city Up to a A five story old brown C stone I rang the D bell that had her name on the E mailbox The D buzzer said somebody's E home D C E C D E E And the look on her face as she G opened the door Was like an A old joke told by a C friend It'd taken D ten more years but she'd E found her smile And I D watched the corners start to E bend And she A said, ?How are you B7 Harry? Haven't we E played this scene before?? I A said, 'It's so good to E see you , Sue. Had to D play it out C just once E more {D}Play it out just once E more.' She said ?I've heard you flying high on my radio.? E Bm I answered 'It's not all it seem.' That's when she laughed and she said, 'It's better sometimes, when we don't D get to touch our E dreams.' D - E x2 That's when I A asked her where was that F#m actress She E said 'That was somebody C#m else.' And then I A asked her why she looked so E happy now She said, 'I D finally like myself, at last I like E myself.' E Abm E7 E7/Db F#m D7 C E E So we talked all through that afternoon Abm Talking about where we'd been E7 We talked of the tiny difference E7/Db Between ending and starting to begin F#m We talked ?cause talking tells you things D7 Like what you are really thinking about C But sometimes you can't find what you're feeling E ?Til all the words run out So I asked her to come to the concert E Bm She said ?No, I work at night.' I said, ?We've gotten to damn good at leaving, Sue.' She said, ?{D} Harry, C your E right.' D E D E Don't A ask me if I made F#m love to her Or which E one of us started to cry. Don't A ask me why she wouldn't take the E money that I left. If I D answered at all I'd E lie. D C E C Bb D So I thought about her as I sang that night Am D And how the circle keeps rolling around How I act as I'm facing the footlights And how she's C flying with both Bb feet on the D ground I guess G it's a sequel to our Em story >From the D journey ?tween heaven and Bm hell With G half the time thinking of what D might have been been And C half thinkin' Bb just as D well I guess G only A7 time will D tell Any questions or comments [email protected] Enjoy all...
