Taxi Driver Chords & Tabs
By: KrazyKurtKuomos
The other one is pretty wrong and so here is what I think is the exact way to
play it. Its just basically picking at 4 chords: Mainly D and Am, but also C and G
Standard Tuning

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I flagged him down at the corner and he
Picked me up at the light
I told him where I was going and we
Drove off into the night
Verse 2:
How's it going my friend I asked him
And slowly he turned his head
The taxi driver looked at me and
This is what he said
Chorus
he said...
(w/ Indian Accent)
Thank you very much...(i cant understand too much cause everyone is laughing and applauding)
Do you want me to leave on the left side or the right side
No i cant break a 20 that is far too much money for me to break
Ok ok come again goodbye goodbye alright...
(thats as much as i could gather)
