OK...Taxi!
Em D
I met this girl in a Birmingham taxi
I got it first, but she slipped in before me
C D
Just as I was telling her, hey this is mine 'ho
She already told the cab driver where to go
G Em
Me I always show respect for the ladies
C
I sat back and let her have it her way
D
So good lord sees me through darkness and light
I tell you what I remembered from that night
Em D
I'm hungry, do you fancy a little something to eat?
I can't go on forever on Cognac and weed
C D
But she was already on the way down in the seat
I tried to stop her, or maybe I didn't
G
So there I was in a strange situation
Em C
The chauffeur said I can drop you off at the station
D
I said no man, no don't
I tell you when to stop keep your eyes on the road
Em D C
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK
Am G Bm C (Raskt skifte)
No, you don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK
D
You don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OK
Em D
Two hours later, she was still at it
The driver had to refill gasoline and shit
C
Baby baby, introduce yourself
D
What's your name, girl?
G
My name is Fred
Fred?
Fred, yeah
Em C
Fred, a'what a'what did you say?
D
Now that put me back a bit 'cos I'm not gay
Now that put me back a bit 'cos I'm not gay

G D
So whatever kind of trouble you might get yourself into
C D
Just think of me that night and what I went through
G D
I thought it was Helen or Marie or whatever, giving me head
C D
Until I realised it was this dude called Fred ... Hello
G
And that was a Birmingham Ho
D
Hey, ho hey, ho hey
G
And that was a Birmingham Ho
D
Hey, ho hey, ho hey, ho hey
Take it away now..
Em (Her kan du strengt tatt holde Em hele veien frem til refrenget,
men vers grepene funker også greit)
Hold on a minute, that's bullshit
You told me it was a microphone
And you wanted me to sing in it
I have a lot of friends and I do lots of things for them
I don't think it's me, I think it's you that have a problem
So zip up and try to be a gentleman
I have feelings too and I don't need you to hurt them
So zip up and try to be a gentleman
So zip up and try to be a gentleman
