  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
