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 
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 

 

          Em                       D                 C

       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
